In general, Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(2*n-k,k)j^(n-k) = (-1)^n*U(2n, I*sqrt(j)/2), i=sqrt(-1). - Paul Barry, Mar 13 2005
a(n) = L(n,7), where L is defined as in A108299; see also A033890 for L(n,-7). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 01 2005
Take 7 numbers consisting of 5 ones together with any two successive terms from this sequence. This set has the property that the sum of their squares is 7 times their product. (R. K. Guy, Oct 12 2005.) See also A111216.
Number of 01-avoiding words of length n on alphabet {0,1,2,3,4,5,6} which do not end in 0. - Tanya Khovanova, Jan 10 2007
For positive n, a(n) equals the permanent of the (2n) X (2n) tridiagonal matrix with sqrt(5)'s along the main diagonal, and 1's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal. - John M. Campbell, Jul 08 2011
From Wolfdieter Lang, Feb 09 2021: (Start)
All positive solutions of the Diophantine equation x^2 + y^2 - 7*x*y = -5 are given by [x(n) = S(n, 7) - S(n-1, 7), y(n) = x(n-1)], for all integer numbers n, with the Chebyshev S-polynomials (A049310), with S(-1, 0) = 0, and S(-n, x) = -S(n-2, x), for n >= 2. x(n) = a(n), for n >= 0.
This indefinite binary quadratic form has discriminant D = +45. There is only this family representing -5 properly with x and y positive, and there are no improper solutions.
All proper and improper solutions of the generalized Pell equation X^2 - 45*Y^2 = +4 are given, up to a combined sign change in X and Y, in terms of x(n) = a(n) from the preceding comment, by X(n) = x(n) + x(n-1) = S(n-1, 7) - S(n-2, 7) and Y(n) = (x(n) - x(n-1))/3 = S(n-1, 7), for all integer numbers n. For positive integers X(n) = A056854(n) and Y(n) = A004187(n). X(-n) = X(n) and Y(-n) = - Y(n), for n >= 1.
The two conjugated proper family of solutions are given by [X(3*n+1), Y(3*n+1)] and [X(3*n+2), Y(3*n+2)], and the one improper family by [X(3*n), Y(3*n)], for all integer numbers n.
This comment is inspired by a paper by Robert K. Moniot (private communication). See his Oct 04 2020 comment in A027941 related to the case of x^2 + y^2 - 3*x*y = -1 (special Markov solutions). (End)

Nonnegative solutions to the Diophantine equation 3*b(n)^2 - 5*a(n)^2 = -2. The corresponding b(n) are A057080(n). Note that (b(n)*b(n+2) - b(n+1)^2)/2 = -5 and (a(n)*a(n+2) - a(n+1)^2)/2 = 3.
(a(n) + b(n))/2 = (b(n+1) - a(n+1))/2 = A001090(n+1) = Lucas U(8,1). Also b(n)*a(n+1) - b(n+1)*a(n) = -2.

Greedy frac multiples of sqrt(3): a(1)=1, Sum_{n>0} frac(a(n)*x) < 1 at x=sqrt(3).
The n-th greedy frac multiple of x is the smallest integer that does not cause Sum_{k=1..n} frac(a(k)*x) to exceed unity; an infinite number of terms appear as the denominators of the convergents to the continued fraction of x.
Binomial transform of A002605. - Paul Barry, Sep 17 2003
In general, Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(2n-k,k)*j^(n-k) = (-1)^n* U(2n, i*sqrt(j)/2), i=sqrt(-1). - Paul Barry, Mar 13 2005
The Hankel transform of this sequence is [1,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,...]. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 21 2007
From Richard Choulet, May 09 2010: (Start)
This sequence is a particular case of the following situation:
a(0)=1, a(1)=a, a(2)=b with the recurrence relation a(n+3) = (a(n+2)*a(n+1)+q)/a(n)
where q is given in Z to have Q = (a*b^2 + q*b + a + q)/(a*b) itself in Z.
The g.f is f: f(z) = (1 + a*z + (b-Q)*z^2 + (a*b + q - a*Q)*z^3)/(1 - Q*z^2 + z^4);
so we have the linear recurrence: a(n+4) = Q*a(n+2) - a(n).
The general form of a(n) is given by:
a(2*m) = Sum_{p=0..floor(m/2)} (-1)^p*binomial(m-p,p)*Q^(m-2*p) + (b-Q)*Sum_{p=0..floor((m-1)/2)} (-1)^p*binomial(m-1-p,p)*Q^(m-1-2*p) and
a(2*m+1) = a*Sum_{p=0..floor(m/2)} (-1)^p*binomial(m-p,p)*Q^(m-2*p) + (a*b+q-a*Q)*Sum_{p=0..floor((m-1)/2)} (-1)^p*binomial(m-1-p,p)*Q^(m-1-2*p).

[X(n) = S(n, 4) - S(n-1, 4), Y(n) = X(n-1)] gives all positive solutions of X^2 + Y^2 - 4*X*Y = -2, for n = -oo..+oo, where the Chebyshev S-polynomials are given in A049310, with S(-1, 0) = 0, and S(-|n|, x) = - S(|n|-2, x), for |n| >= 2.
This binary indefinite quadratic form has discriminant D = +12. There is only this family representing -2 properly with X and Y positive, and there are no improper solutions.
See also the preceding comment by Sture Sjöstedt.
See the formula for a(n) = X(n-1), for n >= 1, in terms of S-polynomials below.

From Peter Bala, May 04 2025: (Start)
a(n) = (1/sqrt(3)) * sqrt(1 - T(2*n-1, -2)), where T(k, x) denotes the k-th Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind.
a(n) divides a(3*n-1); a(n) divides a(5*n-2); in general, for k >= 0, a(n) divides a((2*k+1)*n - k).
The aerated sequence [b(n)]n>=1 = [1, 0, 3, 0, 11, 0, 41, 0, ...] is a fourth-order linear divisibility sequence; that is, if n | m then b(n) | b(m). It is the case P1 = 0, P2 = -6, Q = 1 of the 3-parameter family of divisibility sequences found by Williams and Guy.
Sum_{n >= 2} 1/(a(n) - 1/a(n)) = 1/2 (telescoping series: for n >= 1, 1/(a(n) - 1/a(n)) = 1/A052530(n-1) - 1/A052530(n).) (End)

Formula

11*a(n)^2 - 9*A083043(n)^2 = 2.
a(n) = ((3+sqrt(11))*(10+3*sqrt(11))^(n-1) - (3-sqrt(11))*(10-3*sqrt(11))^(n-1) )/(2*sqrt(11)). - Dean Hickerson, Dec 09 2002
From Michael Somos, Oct 29 2002: (Start)
G.f.: x*(1-x)/(1-20*x+x^2).
a(n) = 20*a(n-1) - a(n-2), n>1. (End)
Let q(n, x) = Sum_{i=0..n} x^(n-i)*binomial(2*n-i, i) then a(n) = q(n, 18). - Benoit Cloitre, Dec 06 2002
a(-n+1) = a(n). - Michael Somos, Apr 18 2003
E.g.f.: (1/11)*exp(10*x)*(11*cosh(3*sqrt(11)*x) - 3*sqrt(11)*sinh(3*sqrt(11)*x)) - 1. - Stefano Spezia, Dec 06 2019

Comments

This sequence is the ratio-determined insertion sequence (RDIS) "twin" to A078362 (see the link for an explanation of "twin"). See A082630 or A082981 for recent examples of RDIS sequences.
a(n) = L(n,13), where L is defined as in A108299. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 01 2005
For n >= 2, a(n) equals the permanent of the (2n-2) X (2n-2) tridiagonal matrix with sqrt(11)'s along the main diagonal, and 1's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal. - John M. Campbell, Jul 08 2011
Seems to be positive values of x (or y) satisfying x^2 - 13xy + y^2 + 11 = 0. - Colin Barker, Feb 10 2014
It appears that the b-file, formulas and programs are based on the conjectured, so far apparently unproved recurrence relation. - M. F. Hasler, Nov 05 2018
Nonnegative y values in solutions to the Diophantine equation 11*x^2 - 15*y^2 = -4. The corresponding x values are in A126866. Note that a(n+1)^2 - a(n)*a(n+2) = -11. - Klaus Purath, Mar 21 2025

Formula

It appears that the sequence satisfies a(n+1) = 13*a(n) - a(n-1). [Corrected by M. F. Hasler, Nov 05 2018]
If the recurrence a(n+2) = 13*a(n+1) - a(n) holds then for n > 0, a(n)*a(n+3) = 143 + a(n+1)*a(n+2). - Ralf Stephan, May 29 2004
G.f.: x*(1-x)/(1 - 13*x + x^2). - Philippe Deléham, Nov 17 2008
For n>1, a(n) is the numerator of the continued fraction [1,11,1,11,...,1,11] with (n-1) repetitions of 1,11. - Greg Dresden, Sep 10 2019
