FORMULA

a(n)= (A001653(n)+1)/2.
a(n)=(((1+Sqrt(2))^(2*n-1)-(1-Sqrt(2))^(2*n-1))/Sqrt(8)+1)/2.
a_n = 7[a_(n-1) - a_(n-2)] + a_(n-3); a_(1) = 1, a_(2) = 3, a_(3) = 15. Also a(n) = 1/2 + ( (1-sqrt(2))/(-4*sqrt(2)) )*(3-2*sqrt(2))^n + ( (1+sqrt(2))/(4*sqrt(2)) )*(3+2*sqrt(2))^n. - Antonio Alberto Olivares, Dec 23 2003
Sqrt(2) = Sum_{n=0..inf} 1/a(n); a(n)=a(n-1)+floor(1/(Sqrt(2)-Sum_{k=0..n-1}1/a(k))) (n>0) with a(0)=1. - Paul D. Hanna, Jan 25 2004
For n>k, a(n+k)=A001541(n)*A001653(k)-A053141(n-k-1); e.g. 493=99*5-2. For n<=k, a(n+k)=A001541(n)*A001653(k)-A053141(k-n); e.g. 85=3*29-2 - Charlie Marion, Oct 18 2004
a(n+1)=3*a(n)-1+(8*a(n)^2-8*a(n)+1)^0.5, a(1)=1. - Richard Choulet, Sep 18 2007
a(n+1) = a(n) * (a(n) + 2) / a(n-1) for n>=1 with a(0)=1. [From Paul D. Hanna, Apr 08 2012]
G.f.: (1-4*x+x^2)/((1-x)*(1-6*x+x^2)). [From R. J. Mathar, Oct 26 2009]
