FORMULA

a(n) = Fib(3^n)/Fib(3^(n-1)) - Henry Bottomley (se16(AT)btinternet.com), Jul 10 2001

a(n+1) = 5*(f(n))^2 - 3, where f(n) = Fib(3^n) = product of first n entries. - Lekraj Beedassy (blekraj(AT)yahoo.com), Jun 16 2003

Contribution from Artur Jasinski (grafix(AT)csl.pl), Oct 05 2008: (Start)

a(n+2)=(G^(3^(n + 1)) - (1 - G)^(3^(n + 1)))/((G^(3^n)) - (1 - G)^(3^n)) where G = (1 + Sqrt[5])/2

a(n+2)=A045529(n+1)/A045529(n) (End)
