Bisection (even part) of Chebyshev sequence with diophantine property.

(3*b(n))^2 - 2*(2*a(n+1))^2 = 1 with companion sequence b(n)=A077420(n),n>=0.

Sequence also refers to inradius of primitive Pythagorean triangles with consecutive legs, odd followed by even. - Lekraj Beedassy (blekraj(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 23 2003

a(n)=34*a(n-1)-a(n-2), a(0)=-1, a(1)=1.

a(n+1)= S(2*n, 6)= S(n, 34) + S(n-1, 34), n>=1, with S(n, x) := U(n, x/2) Chebyshev's polynomials of the second kind. See A049310. S(n, 34)=A029547(n).

G.f.: x*(1+x)/(1-34*x+x^2).

a(n+1)= sum((-1)^k*binomial(2*n-k, k)*6^(2*(n-k)), k=0..n), n>=0.

a(n)=A001109(2n+1). - Lekraj Beedassy (blekraj(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 23 2003

Define f[x,s] = s x + Sqrt[(s^2-1)x^2+1]; f[0,s]=0. a(n) = f[f[a(n-1),3],3]. - Marcos Carreira, Dec 27 2006
