FORMULA
|
(1+sqrt(5))/2 = cot(Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n*acot(a(n))); let b(0) = (1+sqrt(5))/2, b(n) = (b(n-1)*floor(b(n-1))+1)/(b(n-1)-floor(b(n-1)) then a(n) = floor(b(n)). - Benoit Cloitre, Apr 10 2003
a(n) = A000204(3^n). - Benoit Cloitre, Sep 18 2005
a(n) = Round(c^(3^n)) where c = GoldenRatio = 1.6180339887498948482... = (sqrt(5)+1)/2. - Artur Jasinski, Sep 22 2008
Recurrence a(n+1) = a(n)^3 + 3*a(n), a(0)=4. - Artur Jasinski, Sep 24 2008
a(n+1) = Product_{k = 0..n} A002813(k). Thus a(n) divides a(n+1). - Peter Bala, Nov 22 2012
