Formula
a(0)=0, a(1)=1, a(2)=21 and a(n-1)*a(n+1) = a(n)^2-1
a(n) = S(n-1, 21)=U(n-1, 21/2) with S(n, x)=U(n, x/2) Chebyshev's polynomials of the 2nd kind, A049310. S(-1, x)= 0 = U(-1, x).
a(n) = S(2*n-1, sqrt(23))/sqrt(23), n>=1.
a(n) = 21*a(n-1)-a(n-2), n >= 1; a(0)=0, a(1)=1.
a(n) = (ap^n-am^n)/(ap-am) with ap := (21+sqrt(437))/2 and am := (21-sqrt(437))/2.
G.f.: x/(1-21*x+x^2).
a(n+1) = Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n} A101950(n,k)*20^k. - Philippe Deléham, Feb 10 2012
Product {n >= 1} (1 + 1/a(n)) = 1/19*(19 + sqrt(437)). - Peter Bala, Dec 23 2012
Product {n >= 2} (1 - 1/a(n)) = 1/42*(19 + sqrt(437)). - Peter Bala, Dec 23 2012
