COMMENTS

From Ant King, Dec 16 2011: (Start)

lim(n->Infinity, a(2n+1)/a(2n))=1/7*(331+234*sqrt(2))

lim(n->Infinity, a(2n)/a(2n-1))=1/7*(43+30*sqrt(2))

FORMULA

Contribution from Ant King, Dec 16 2011: (Start)

a(n) = 1154*a(n-2) - a(n-4) - 192.

a(n) = a(n-1) + 1154*a(n-2) - 1154*a(n-3) - a(n-4) + a(n-5).

a(n) = 1/12*((3-sqrt(2)*(-1)^n)*(1+sqrt(2))^(4*n-3)+(3+sqrt(2)*(-1)^n)*(1-sqrt(2))^(4*n-3)+2).

a(n) = ceiling(1/12*(3-sqrt(2)*(-1)^n)*(1+sqrt(2))^(4*n-3)).

G.f.: x*(1-8*x-x^2)*(1+18*x+5x^2)/((1-x)*(1-34*x+x^2)*(1+34*x+x^2)).
