COMMENTS

As n increases, this sequence is approximately geometric with common ratio r = lim(n -> Infinity, a(n)/a(n-1)) = (sqrt(2) + sqrt(3))^4 = 49 + 20 * sqrt(6). - Ant King, Nov 07 2011

FORMULA

a(n) = 98*a(n-1) - a(n-2); g.f.: (1+x)/(1-98*x+x^2) - Warut Roonguthai (warut822(AT)yahoo.com) Jan 05 2001

a(1-n)=-a(n). - Michael Somos Sep 05 2006

Define f[x,s] = s x + Sqrt[(s^2-1)x^2+1]; f[0,s]=0. a(n) = f[f[a(n-1),5],5]. - Marcos Carreira, Dec 27 2006

a(n)=((12+5*sqrt(6))/24)*(5+2*sqrt(6))^(2*n)+((12-5*sqrt(6))/24)*(5-2*sqrt(6))^(2*n) for n>=0 [From Richard Choulet (richardchoulet(AT)yahoo.fr), Apr 29 2009]

a(n+1)=49*a(n)+10*sqrt(24*a(n)^2+1) for n>=0 with a(0)=1 [From Richard Choulet (richardchoulet(AT)yahoo.fr), Apr 29 2009]

a(n)=b such that (-1)^n*Integral_{x=-Pi/2,Pi/2} (cos(2*n-1)*x)/(5-sin(x)) dx = c + b*(ln(2)-ln(3)) [From Francesco Daddi (francesco.daddi(AT)libero.it), Aug 01 2011]

a(n) = floor(1/24 * sqrt(6) * (sqrt(2) + sqrt(3))^(4n-2)). - Ant King, Nov 07 2011
