Let the generator matrix for the ternary Golay G_12 code be [I|B], where the elements of B are taken from the set {0,1,2}. Then a(n)=(B^n)_1,2 for instance. - Paul Barry, Feb 13 2004

FORMULA
a(n) = 6*a(n-1) + 5*a(n-2).
a(n) = sqrt(14)*(3+sqrt(14))^n/28 - sqrt(14)*(3-sqrt(14))^n/28. - Paul Barry, Feb 13 2004
