This sequence gives the values of y in solutions of the Diophantine equation x^2 - 15*y^2 = 1; the corresponding values of x are in A001091. - Vincenzo Librandi, Nov 12 2010 [edited by Jon E. Schoenfield, May 02 2014]
For n >= 2, a(n) equals the permanent of the (n-1) X (n-1) tridiagonal matrix with 8's along the main diagonal, and i's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal (i is the imaginary unit). - John M. Campbell, Jul 08 2011
For n >= 1, a(n) equals the number of 01-avoiding words of length n-1 on alphabet {0,1,...,7}. - Milan Janjic, Jan 25 2015
From Klaus Purath, Jul 25 2024: (Start)
For any three consecutive terms (x, y, z) y^2 - x*z = 1 always applies.
a(n) = (t(i+2n) - t(i))/(t(i+n+1) - t(i+n-1)) where (t) is any recurrence t(k) = 9t(k-1) - 9t(k-2) + t(k-3) or t(k) = 8t(k-1) - t(k-2) without regard to initial values.
In particular, if the recurrence (t) of the form (9,-9,1) has the initial values t(0) = 1, t(1) = 2, t(2) = 9, a(n) = t(n) - 1 applies. (End)
