Formula
G.f.: (1 - x)/(1 - 443*x + x^2).
a(n) = ((-1)^n)*S(2*n, 21*i) with the imaginary unit i and the S(n, x)=U(n, x/2) Chebyshev polynomials.
a(n) = S(n, 443) - S(n-1, 443) = T(2*n+1, sqrt(445)/2)/(sqrt(445)/2), with S(n, x)=U(n, x/2) Chebyshev's polynomials of the second kind, A049310. S(-1, x)= 0 = U(-1, x) and T(n, x) Chebyshev's polynomials of the first kind, A053120.
a(n) = 443*a(n-1) - a(n-2) for n>1, a(0)=1, a(1)=442. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 18 2008
