COMMENT

One fourth of bisection (even part) of A041024.

(4*a(n))^2 - 17*A078988(n)^2= -1 (Pell -1 equation, see A077232-3).

FORMULA

a(n)= 66*a(n-1) - a(n-2), n>=1, a(-1)=-1, a(0)=1.

G.f.: (1+x)/(1-66*x+x^2).

a(n)= S(2*n, 2*sqrt(17)) = -i*((-1)^n)*T(2*n+1, 4*i)/4 = S(n, 66) + S(n-1, 66) with i^2=-1 and S(n, x), resp. T(n, x), Chebyshev's polynomials of the second, resp. first, kind. See A049310 and A053120.

a(n)=A041024(2*n)/4.

EXAMPLE

(x,y) = (4,1), (268,65), (17684,4289), ... give the positive integer solutions to x^2 - 17*y^2 =-1.
