COMMENTS
The same sequence may be obtained by the following process. Starting a priori with the fraction 1/1, the numerators of fractions built according to the rule: add top and bottom to get the new bottom, add top and 6 times the bottom to get the new top. The limit of the sequence of fractions is sqrt(6). - Cino Hilliard, Sep 25 2005
a(n), n>0 = term (1,1) in the n-th power of the 2 X 2 matrix [1,3; 2,1]. - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 06 2010
a(n) is the number of compositions of n when there are 1 type of 1 and 6 types of other natural numbers. - Milan Janjic, Aug 13 2010

FORMULA
A002533(n)/A002532(n), n>0, converges to sqrt(6). - Mario Catalani (mario.catalani(AT)unito.it), Apr 22 2003
From Mario Catalani (mario.catalani(AT)unito.it), May 03 2003: (Start)
G.f.: (1-x)/(1-2*x-5*x^2).
a(n) = (1/2)*((1+sqrt(6))^n + (1-sqrt(6))^n).
a(n)/A083694(n) converges to sqrt(3/2).
a(n)/A083695(n) converges to sqrt(2/3).
a(n) = a(n-1) + 3*A083694(n-1).
a(n) = a(n-1) + 2*A083695(n-1), n>0. (End)
Binomial transform of expansion of cosh(sqrt(6)*x) (A000400, with interpolated zeros). E.g.f.: exp(x)*cosh(sqrt(6)*x) - Paul Barry, May 09 2003
From Mario Catalani (mario.catalani(AT)unito.it), Jun 14 2003: (Start)
a(2*n+1) = 2*a(n)*a(n+1) - (-5)^n.
a(n)^2 - 6*A002532(n)^2 = (-5)^n. (End)
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n, 2*k) * 6^k. - Paul Barry, Jul 25 2004
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A098158(n,k)*6^(n-k). - Philippe Deléham, Dec 26 2007
If p(1)=1, and p(I)=6, for i>1, and if A is the Hessenberg matrix of order n defined by: A(i,j) = p(j-i+1) for i<=j, A(i,j)=-1 for i=j+1, and A(i,j)=0 otherwise. Then, for n>=1, a(n) = det A. - Milan Janjic, Apr 29 2010
G.f.: G(0)/2, where G(k) = 1 + 1/(1 - x*(6*k-1)/(x*(6*k+5) - 1/G(k+1))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, May 26 2013
