A087958 revision #1

A087958 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)=5. 2

FORMULA
a(n) = a(n-1) + 3a(n-2) - a(n-3) for n>3; G.f.: (1+4x-6x^2+x^3)/(1-x-3x^2+x^3).
EXAMPLE
a(4)=18 since ((1+5+2+17)^2 - (1^2+5^2+2^2+17^2))/17 = (25^2-217)/17 = 18.
PROG
(PARI) a(0)=1; a(1)=5; for(n=2, 50, a(n)=((sum(k=0, n, a(k))^2-sum(k=0, n, a(k)^2))/a(n-1))
