Formula
a(n) = ((2 + sqrt(3))^(2*n - 1) + (2 - sqrt(3))^(2*n - 1)) / 4. - Michael Somos, Feb 15 2011
G.f.: x * (1 - x) / (1 -14*x + x^2). - Michael Somos, Feb 15 2011
Let q(n, x) = Sum_{i=0, n} x^(n-i)*binomial(2*n-i, i) then a(n) = q(n, 12). - Benoit Cloitre, Dec 10 2002
a(n) = S(n, 14) - S(n-1, 14) = T(2*n+1, 2)/2 with S(n, x) := U(n, x/2), resp. T(n, x), Chebyshev's polynomials of the second, resp. first, kind. See A049310 and A053120. S(-1, x)=0, S(n, 14)=A007655(n+1) and T(n, 2)=A001075(n). - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 29 2002
a(n) = A001075(n)*A001075(n+1) - 1 and thus (a(n)+1)^6 has divisors A001075(n)^6 and A001075(n+1)^6 congruent to -1 modulo a(n) (cf. A350916). - Max Alekseyev, Jan 23 2022
4*a(n)^2 - 3*b(n)^2 = 1 with b(n)=A028230(n+1), n>=0.
a(n)*a(n+3) = 168 + a(n+1)*a(n+2). - Ralf Stephan, May 29 2004
a(n) = 14*a(n-1) - a(n-2), a(0) = a(1) = 1. a(1 - n) = a(n) (compare A122571).
a(n) = (1/12)*((7-4*sqrt(3))^n*(3-2*sqrt(3))+(3+2*sqrt(3))*(7+4*sqrt(3))^n -6). - Zak Seidov, May 06 2007
a(n) = A102871(n)^2+(A102871(n)-1)^2; sum of consecutive squares. E.g. a(4)=36^2+35^2. - Mason Withers (mwithers(AT)semprautilities.com), Jan 26 2008
a(n) = sqrt((3*A028230(n+1)^2 + 1)/4).
a(n) = 2^(2*n-3)*Product_{k=1..2*n-1} (2 - sin(2*Pi*k/(2*n-1))). Michael Somos, Dec 18 2022
