%N a(n) is the square of the n-th partial sum minus the n-th partial sum of the squares, divided by a(n-1), for all n>=1, starting with a(0)=1, a(1)=4.

%F a(n) = a(n-1) + 3a(n-2) - a(n-3) for n>3; G.f.: (1+3x-5x^2+x^3)/(1-x-3x^2+x^3).

%e a(4)=16 since ((1+4+2+14)^2 - (1^2+4^2+2^2+14^2))/14 = (21^2-217)/14 = 16.
