From Ant King, Dec 17 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 17 2011: (Start)

a(n) = 1154*a(n-2) - a(n-4) - 384.

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

a(n) = 1/24*sqrt(2)*((3-sqrt(2)*(-1)^n)*(1+sqrt(2))^(4*n-3)-(3+sqrt(2)*(-1)^n)*(1-sqrt(2))^(4*n-3)+4*sqrt(2)).

a(n) = ceiling(1/24*sqrt(2)*((3-sqrt(2)*(-1)^n)*(1+sqrt(2))^(4*n-3))).

G.f.: x*(1+7*x-437*x^2+41*x^3+4*x^4)/((1-x)*(1-34*x+x^2)*(1+34*x+x^2)).
