Formula

G.f.: (1 + x)/(1 - 102*x + x^2).
a(n) = S(n, 2*51) + S(n-1, 2*51) = S(2*n, 2*sqrt(26)), with Chebyshev polynomials of the 2nd kind. See A049310 for the triangle of S(n, x)= U(n, x/2) coefficients. S(-1, x) := 0 =: U(-1, x).
a(n) = ((-1)^n)*T(2*n+1, 5*i)/(5*i) with the imaginary unit i and Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind. See the T-triangle A053120.
a(n) = 102*a(n-1) - a(n-2) for n > 1; a(0)=1, a(1)=103. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 18 2008
a(n) = (1/5)*sinh((2*n-1)*arcsinh(5)), n >= 1. - Artur Jasinski, Feb 10 2010
