LinearRecurrence[{0,1,0,62,0,-62,0,-1,0,1},{1,2,1,60,1,242,1,3840,1,15122},40] (* Harvey P. Dale, Aug 03 2023 *)
Formula
a(4*n-1) = (4 + sqrt(15))^(2*n) + (4 - sqrt(15))^(2*n) - 2;
a(4*n+1) = 1/2*{(4 + sqrt(15))^(2*n+1) + (4 - sqrt(15))^(2*n+1)} - 2; a(2*n) = 1.
G.f.: -(x^4-2*x^3+12*x^2-2*x+1)*(x^4+4*x^3-4*x^2+4*x+1) / ((x-1)*(x+1)*(x^4-8*x^2+1)*(x^4+8*x^2+1)). [Colin Barker, Jan 14 2013]
