From Ant King, Nov 17 2011: (Start)
lim_{n -> infinity} a(2n+1)/a(2n) = 1/625 * (36913 + 9864 * sqrt(14));
lim_{n -> infinity} a(2n)/a(2n-1) = 1/625 * (2417 + 624 * sqrt(14)).

FORMULA
O.g.f. f(z) = 1 + 9*z + ... = ((1 + 8*z + 182*z^2 + 8*z^3 + z^4)/((1-z)*(1 - 898*z^2 + z^4))). With the first values, for n > 0: a(n+5) = a(n+4) + 898*a(n+3) - 898*a(n+2) - a(n+1) + a(n). On every bisection modulo 2: a(n+2) = 30*a(n+1) - a(n) + 200. On every bisection modulo 2: a(n+1) = 449*a(n) + 100 + 60*sqrt(56*a(n)^2 + 25*a(n)). a(n) = -25/112 + (11/28 + (11/112)*sqrt(14))*(15 + 4*sqrt(14))^n + (11/28 - (11/112)*sqrt(14))*(15 - 4*sqrt(14))^n + (7/32 - (1/16)*sqrt(14))*(-15 + 4*sqrt(14))^n + (7/32 + (1/16)*sqrt(14))*(-15 - 4*sqrt(14))^n. - Richard Choulet, May 08 2009
a(n) = 898 * a(n-2) - a(n-4) + 200. - Ant King, Nov 17 2011
