COMMENT

f satisfies the linear recursion f(n+1)=(t+2)f(n)-tf(n-1)). For t=3 this gives a(n+1)=5a(n)-3a(n-1).

FORMULA

a(n+1)=(a(n)^2+3^n)/a(n-1)

G.f.: (1-2x)/(1-5x+3*x^2). [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 14 2008]

a(n)=Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n}A147703(n,k)*2^k. [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 14 2008]

MAPLE

f := proc(n) if n=0 then 1 elif n=1 then t else sort(simplify((f(n-1)^2+t^(n-1))/f(n-2)), t) fi end; a := i->subs(t=3, f(i));

MATHEMATICA

a[0]=1; a[1]=3; a[n_] := a[n]=5a[n-1]-3a[n-2]
