From Ant King, Oct 19 2011: (Start)

lim(n->Infinity,a(2n+1)/a(2n))=1/2(47+21*sqrt(5))

lim(n->Infinity,a(2n)/a(2n-1))=1/2(7+3*sqrt(5))

FORMULA

For n odd, a(n+2)=322*a(n+1)-a(n)-96; for n even, a(n+1)=161*a(n)-48+36*(20*a(n)^2-12*a(n)+1)^0.5 - Richard Choulet (richardchoulet(AT)yahoo.fr), Sep 29 2007, Oct 09 2007

From Ant King, Oct 19 2011: (Start)

a(n)=322a(n-2)-a(n-4)-96

a(n)=a(n-1)+322a(n-2)-322a(n-3)-a(n-4)+a(n-5)

a(n)=1/20*((sqrt(5)-(-1)^n)*(sqrt(5)+2)^(2n-1)+ (sqrt(5)+(-1)^n)*(sqrt(5)-2)^(2n-1)+6)

a(n)=ceiling(1/20*(sqrt(5)-(-1)^n)*(2+sqrt(5))^(2n-1))

GF:x*(1+4*x-106*x^2+4*x^3+x^4)/((1-x)*(1-18*x+x^2)*(1+18*x+x^2))
