COMMENTS

Standard deviation of A011943.

Product x*y, where the pair (x, y) solves for x^2 - 3y^2=1, i.e., a(n)=A001075(n)*A001353(n). - Lekraj Beedassy (blekraj(AT)yahoo.com), Jul 13 2006

FORMULA

For all members x of the sequence, 12*x^2 +1 is a square. Lim. n-> Inf. a(n)/a(n-1) = 7 + Sqrt(12). - Gregory V. Richardson (omomom(AT)hotmail.com), Oct 13 2002

a(n) = [(7+2*Sqrt(12))^(n-1) - (7-2*Sqrt(12))^(n-1)] / (2*Sqrt(12)) - Gregory V. Richardson (omomom(AT)hotmail.com), Oct 13 2002

a(n) = 13*(a(n-1)+a(n-2))-a(n-3). a(n) = 15*(a(n-1)-a(n-2))+a(n-3). - Mohamed Bouhamida (bhmd95(AT)yahoo.fr), Sep 20 2006

a(n) = Sinh[2n*ArcSinh[Sqrt[3]]]/Sqrt[12] - Herbert Kociemba (kociemba(AT)t-online.de), Apr 24 2008

G.f.: 2x/(1-14*x+x^2). [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 17 2008]
