cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Formula

a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - a(n-2) + 34 for n > 1; a(0) = 0, a(1) = 51.
a(n) = ((1+sqrt(2))*(3+2*sqrt(2))^n + (1-sqrt(2))*(3-2*sqrt(2))^n -2)*(17/4).
G.f.: 17*x*(3-x)/((1-x)*(1-6*x+x^2)).
a(n) = 17*(A002203(2*n+1) - 2)/4. - G. C. Greubel, Aug 21 2018
