COMMENT

The iteration for the solutions is as follows: x_0=9*r^4, y_0=-9*r^4+3*r, z_0=-9*r^3+1, x_1=9*r^4, y_1=-9*r^4-3*r, z_1=9*r^3+1. For n>=2: x_n=(432*r^6-2) * x_(n-1) - x_(n-2) - 108*r^4, y_n=(432*r^6-2) * y_(n-1) - y_(n-2) - 108*r^4, z_n=(432*r^6-2) * z_(n-1) - z_(n-2) + 216*r^6 + 4. For all n, x_n^3+y_n^3+z_n^3=1. Each x_n, y_n and z_n is a polynomial in r; the leading coefficients of x_n and z_n are both a(n); the leading coefficient of y_n is -a(n).

FORMULA

a(n) = 9*432^(n-1) for n>0.

EXAMPLE

For n=3, x_3 = 1679616*r^16 - 66096*r^10 + 153*r^4, y_3 = -1679616*r^16 - 559872*r^13 - 27216*r^10 + 3888*r^7 + 63*r^4 - 3*r, z_3 = 1679616*r^15 + 279936*r^12 - 11664*r^9 - 648*r^6 + 9*r^3 + 1, so a(3) = 1679616.

MATHEMATICA

x[0]=x[1]=9*r^4; y[0]=-9*r^4+3*r; z[0]=-9*r^3+1; y[1]=-9*r^4-3*r; z[1]=9*r^3+1; x[n_] := x[n]=Expand[(432*r^6-2)*x[n-1]-x[n-2]-108*r^4]; y[n_] := y[n]=Expand[(432*r^6-2)*y[n-1]-y[n-2]-108*r^4]; z[n_] := z[n]=Expand[(432*r^6-2)*z[n-1]-z[n-2]+216*r^6+4]; a[n_] := Last[CoefficientList[x[n], r]]
