FORMULA

a(0) = 1, a(n) = 9a(n-1) - 4.

a(n) = Sum_{ k, 0<=k<=n} binomial(2n, 2k)*4^k.

a(n) = A002438(n) / A000364(n); A000364(n) : Euler numbers.

G.f.: (1-5x)/((1-x)(1-9x)).

a(n)=(3^n+1^n+(-1)^n+(-3)^n)/4; e.g.f.: exp(3x)+exp(x)+exp(-x)+exp(-3x).

Each term expresses a Pythagorean relationship, along with (a(n)-1) and a power of 3, n>0, such that sqrt((a(n))^2 - (a(n)-1)^2) = 3^n. E.g. 365^2 - 364^2 - 3^3 = 27. (the Pythagorean triangle (365, 364, 27). - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoogroups.com), Jun 25 2006
