[From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jul 17 2009] %F A124124 It appears that a(n)=2a(n-1)-2a(n-2)+a(n-3) if n is even, a(n)=5a(n-1)-5a(n-2)+a(n-3) if n is odd. Can anyone confirm this? %F A124124 Yes, these formulae are correct. Also a(i) = 7*(a(i-2) - a(i-4)) + a(i-6) for i >= 7. - Zak Seidov Dec 04 2006 %F A124124 2*a(n)=sqrt[7+2*A077442(n-1)^2]-1. - R.
