a(n) = 14*a(n-1) - a(n-2).
G.f.: x^2/(1-14*x+x^2).
a(n+1) ~ 1/24*sqrt(3)*(2 + sqrt(3))^(2*n). - Joe Keane (jgk(AT)jgk.org), May 15 2002
a(n+1) = S(n-1, 14), n>=0, with S(n, x) := U(n, x/2) Chebyshev's polynomials of the second kind. S(-1, x) := 0. See
A049310.
a(n+1) = ( (7+4*sqrt(3))^n - (7-4*sqrt(3))^n )/(8*sqrt(3)).
a(n+1) = sqrt((
A011943(n)^2 - 1)/48), n>=0.
Chebyshev's polynomials U(n-2, x) evaluated at x=7.
a(n) = 13*( a(n-1) + a(n-2) ) - a(n-3).
a(n) = 15*( a(n-1) - a(n-2) ) + a(n-3). (End)
a(n) = b such that (-1)^n/4*Integral_{x=-Pi/2..Pi/2} (sin((2*n-2)*x))/(2-sin(x)) dx = c+b*log(3). -

Product {n >= 1} (1 + 1/a(n)) = 1/3*(3 + 2*sqrt(3)). -

Product {n >= 2} (1 - 1/a(n)) = 1/7*(3 + 2*sqrt(3)). -

E.g.f.: 1 - exp(7*x)*(12*cosh(4*sqrt(3)*x) - 7*sqrt(3)*sinh(4*sqrt(3)*x))/12. -
