Formula
a(n) = 15*a(n-1) - a(n-2), n>= 1; a(-1)=0, a(0)=1.
a(n) = S(2*n+1, sqrt(17))/sqrt(17) = S(n, 15); S(n, x) := U(n, x/2), Chebyshev polynomials of the 2nd kind, A049310.
a(n) = (ap^(n+1) - am^(n+1))/(ap-am) with ap = (15+sqrt(221))/2 and am = (15-sqrt(221))/2.
G.f.: 1/(1 - 15*x + x^2). - Philippe Deléham, Nov 17 2008
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A101950(n,k)*14^k. - Philippe Deléham, Feb 10 2012
Product {n >= 0} (1 + 1/a(n)) = 1/13*(13 + sqrt(221)). - Peter Bala, Dec 23 2012
Product {n >= 1} (1 - 1/a(n)) = 1/30*(13 + sqrt(221)). - Peter Bala, Dec 23 2012
For n>=1, a(n) = U(n-1,15/2), where U(k,x) is Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind. - Milan Janjic, Jan 23 2015
