a(n) corresponds also to one-sixth the area of Fleenor-Heronian triangle with middle side A003500(n). - Lekraj Beedassy, Jul 15 2002
a(n) give all (nontrivial, integer) solutions of Pell equation b(n+1)^2 - 48*a(n+1)^2 = +1 with b(n+1)=A011943(n), n>=0.
For n>=3, a(n) equals the permanent of the (n-2) X (n-2) tridiagonal matrix with 14'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,...,13}. - Milan Janjic, Jan 25 2015
6*a(n)^2 = 6*S(n-1, 14)^2 is the triangular number Tri((T(n, 7) - 1)/2) with Tri = A000217 and T = A053120. This is instance k = 3 of the general k-identity given in a comment to A001109. - Wolfdieter Lang, Feb 01 2016

FORMULA
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) = A001353(2n)/4. - Lekraj Beedassy, Jul 15 2002
4*a(n+1) + A046184(n) = A055793(n+2) + A098301(n+1) 4*a(n+1) + A098301(n+1) + A055793(n+2) = A046184(n+1) (4*a(n+1))^2 = A098301(2n+1) (conjectures). - Creighton Dement, Nov 02 2004
From Mohamed Bouhamida, May 26 2007: (Start)
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). - Francesco Daddi, Aug 02 2011
a(n+2) = Sum_{k=0..n} A101950(n,k)*13^k. - Philippe Deléham, Feb 10 2012
Product {n >= 1} (1 + 1/a(n)) = 1/3*(3 + 2*sqrt(3)). - Peter Bala, Dec 23 2012
Product {n >= 2} (1 - 1/a(n)) = 1/7*(3 + 2*sqrt(3)). - Peter Bala, Dec 23 2012
E.g.f.: 1 - exp(7*x)*(12*cosh(4*sqrt(3)*x) - 7*sqrt(3)*sinh(4*sqrt(3)*x))/12. - Stefano Spezia, Dec 11 2022
