COMMENTS

Let b(1)=1, b(k)=floor(b(k-1))+3/b(k-1); then for n>1, b(n)=a(n)/a(n-1). - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Sep 09 2002

In general, x/(1-a*x-b*x^2) has a(n)=sum{k=0..floor((n-1)/2),C(n-k-1,k)b^k*a^(n-2k-1)}. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Apr 23 2005

FORMULA

a(n) = 4 a(n-1) + 3 a(n-2).

a(n) = (A086901(n+2) - A086901(n+1))/6. - Ralf Stephan (ralf(AT)ark.in-berlin.de), Feb 01 2004

a(n)=sum{k=0..floor((n-1)/2), C(n-k-1, k)3^k*4^(n-2k-1)} - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Apr 23 2005

((2+sqrt7)^n-(2-sqrt7)^n)/sqrt28. Offset 1. a(3)=19 [From Al Hakanson (hawkuu(AT)gmail.com), Jan 05 2009]

Contribution from Johannes W. Meijer (meijgia(AT)hotmail.com), Aug 01 2010: (Start)

Limit(a(n+k)/a(k), k=infinity) = A108851(n)+A015530(n)*sqrt(7)

Limit(A108851(n)/A015530(n), n=infinity) = sqrt(7)
