3*a(n)^2 + 1 is a square. Moreover, 3*a(n)^2 + 1 = (2*a(n) - a(n-1))^2.
Consecutive terms give nonnegative solutions to x^2 - 4*x*y + y^2 = 1. - Max Alekseyev, Dec 12 2012
Values y solving the Pellian x^2 - 3*y^2 = 1; corresponding x values given by A001075(n). Moreover, we have a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + A001075(n-1). - Lekraj Beedassy, Jul 13 2006
Number of spanning trees in 2 X n grid: by examining what happens at the right-hand end we see that a(n) = 3*a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) + 2*a(n-3) + ... + 2*a(1) + 1, where the final 1 corresponds to the tree ==...=| !. Solving this we get a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - a(n-2).
Complexity of 2 X n grid.
A016064 also describes triangles whose sides are consecutive integers and in which an inscribed circle has an integer radius. A001353 is exactly and precisely mapped to the integer radii of such inscribed circles, i.e., for each term of A016064, the corresponding term of A001353 gives the radius of the inscribed circle. - Harvey P. Dale, Dec 28 2000

Ways of packing a 3 X (2*n-1) rectangle with dominoes, after attaching an extra square to the end of one of the sides of length 3. With reference to A001835, therefore: a(n) = a(n-1) + A001835(n-1) and A001835(n) = 3*A001835(n-1) + 2*a(n-1). - Joshua Zucker and the Castilleja School Math Club, Oct 28 2003
a(n+1) is a Chebyshev transform of 4^n, where the sequence with g.f. G(x) is sent to the sequence with g.f. (1/(1+x^2))G(x/(1+x^2)). - Paul Barry, Oct 25 2004
This sequence is prime-free, because a(2n) = a(n) * (a(n+1)-a(n-1)) and a(2n+1) = a(n+1)^2 - a(n)^2 = (a(n+1)+a(n)) * (a(n+1)-a(n)). - Jianing Song, Jul 06 2019

Number of 2 X n simple rectangular mazes. A simple rectangular m X n maze is a graph G with vertex set {0, 1, ..., m} X {0, 1, ..., n} that satisfies the following two properties: (i) G consists of two orthogonal trees; (ii) one tree has a path that sequentially connects (0,0),(0,1), ..., (0,n), (1,n), ...,(m-1,n) and the other tree has a path that sequentially connects (1,0), (2,0), ..., (m,0), (m,1), ..., (m,n). For example, a(2) = 4 because there are four 2 X 2 simple rectangular mazes:

For n>0, a(n) equals the determinant of an (n-1) X (n-1) tridiagonal matrix with ones in the super and subdiagonals and (4, 4, 4, ...) as the main diagonal. [Corrected by Johannes Boot, Sep 04 2011]

a(n) is defined also by the recurrence a(1)=1; for n>1, a(n+1) = 2*a(n) + sqrt(3*a(n)^2 + 1) where a(n) is an integer for every n. This sequence is generalizable by the sequence b(n,m) of parameter m with the initial condition b(1,m) = 1, and for n > 1 b(n+1,m) = m*b(n,m) + sqrt((m^2 - 1)*b(n,m)^2 + 1) for m = 2, 3, 4, ... where b(n,m) is an integer for every n.
The first corresponding sequences are
b(n,2) = a(n) = A001353(n);
b(n,3) = A001109(n);
b(n,4) = A001090(n);
b(n,5) = A004189(n);
b(n,6) = A004191(n);
b(n,7) = A007655(n);
b(n,8) = A077412(n);
b(n,9) = A049660(n);
b(n,10) = A075843(n);
b(n,11) = A077421(n);
....................
We obtain a general sequence of polynomials {b(n,x)} = {1, 2*x, 4*x^2 - 1, 8*x^3 - 4*x, 16*x^4 - 12*x^2 + 1, 32*x^5 - 32*x^3 + 6*x, ...} with x = m where each b(n,x) is a Gegenbauer polynomial defined by the recurrence b(n,x)- 2*x*b(n-1,x) + b(n-2,x) = 0, the same relation as the Chebyshev recurrence, but with the initial conditions b(x,0) = 1 and b(x,1) = 2*x instead b(x,0) = 1 and b(x,1) = x for the Chebyshev polynomials. (End)
If a(n) denotes the n-th term of the above sequence and we construct a triangle whose sides are a(n) - 1, a(n) + 1 and sqrt(3a(n)^2 + 1), then, for every n the measure of one of the angles of the triangle so constructed will always be 120 degrees. This result of ours was published in Mathematics Spectrum (2012/2013), Vol. 45, No. 3, pp. 126-128. - K. S. Bhanu and Dr. M. N. Deshpande, Professor (Retd), Department of Statistics, Institute of Science, Nagpur (India).
