Formula
11*a(n)^2 - 9*A083043(n)^2 = 2.
a(n) = ((3+sqrt(11))*(10+3*sqrt(11))^(n-1) - (3-sqrt(11))*(10-3*sqrt(11))^(n-1) )/(2*sqrt(11)). - Dean Hickerson, Dec 09 2002
From Michael Somos, Oct 29 2002: (Start)
G.f.: x*(1-x)/(1-20*x+x^2).
a(n) = 20*a(n-1) - a(n-2), n>1. (End)
Let q(n, x) = Sum_{i=0..n} x^(n-i)*binomial(2*n-i, i) then a(n) = q(n, 18). - Benoit Cloitre, Dec 06 2002
a(-n+1) = a(n). - Michael Somos, Apr 18 2003
E.g.f.: (1/11)*exp(10*x)*(11*cosh(3*sqrt(11)*x) - 3*sqrt(11)*sinh(3*sqrt(11)*x)) - 1. - Stefano Spezia, Dec 06 2019
