COMMENTS

Entries are == 1 (mod 3). - N. J. A. Sloane (njas(AT)research.att.com), Sep 22, 2007

lim(n -> Infinity, a(n)/a(n-1)) = 8 + 3*sqrt(7) . - Ant King, Nov 03 2011

FORMULA

G.f.: [1-7x+x^2]/[(1-x)(1-16x+x^2)].

a(n+2)=16*a(n+1)-a(n)-5, a(n+1)=8*a(n)-2.5+1.5*(28*a(n)^2-20*a(n)+1)^0.5 - Richard Choulet (richardchoulet(AT)yahoo.fr), Sep 22 2007

a(n)=(5/14)+(9/28)*{[8-3*sqrt(7)]^n+[8+3*sqrt(7)]^n}+(3/28)*sqrt(7)*{[8+3*sqrt(7)]^n- [8-3*sqrt(7)]^n}, with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Nov 25 2008]

From Ant King, Nov 03 2011: (Start)

a(n) = 17*a(n-1) - 17*a(n-2) + a(n-3).

a(n) = ceiling(3/28*(3-sqrt(7))*(8 + 3*sqrt(7))^n).

(End)
