COMMENTS

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

LINKS

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..16.

Eric Weisstein's World of Mathematics, Nonagonal Triangular Number.

FORMULA

a(n+2)=16*a(n+1)-a(n)+7, a(n+1)=8*a(n)+3.5+1.5*(28*a(n)^2+28*a(n)+25)^0.5 - Richard Choulet, Sep 22 2007

G.f.: f(z)=a(1)*z+a(2)*z^2+...= (z+8z^2-2*z^3)/((1-z)*(1-16*z+z^2)) - Richard Choulet, Oct 09 2007

a(n)=-(1/2)+(3/4)*{[8-3*sqrt(7)]^n+[8+3*sqrt(7)]^n}+(9/28)*sqrt(7)*{[8+3*sqrt(7)]^n- [8-3*sqrt(7)]^n}, with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava, 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)=floor(3/28*sqrt(7)*(3 - sqrt(7))*(8 + 3* sqrt(7))^n)

(End)
