FORMULA

G.f.: Sum_{n>=1} n^2*Pell(n)*x^n/(1 - A002203(n)*x^n + (-1)^n*x^(2*n)) = Sum_{n>=1} sigma_2(n)*Pell(n)*x^n, where Pell(n) = A000129(n) and A002203 is the companion Pell numbers.

EXAMPLE

G.f.: A(x) = x + 10*x^2 + 50*x^3 + 252*x^4 + 754*x^5 + 3500*x^6 +...

where A(x) = x/(1-2*x-x^2) + 2^2*2*x^2/(1-6*x^2+x^4) + 3^2*5*x^3/(1-14*x^3-x^6) + 4^2*12*x^4/(1-34*x^4+x^8) + 5^2*29*x^5/(1-82*x^5-x^10) + 6^2*70*x^6/(1-198*x^6+x^12) +...+ n^2*Pell(n)*x^n/(1 - A002203(n)*x^n + (-1)^n*x^(2*n)) +...
