lim(n->Infinity, a(2n+1)/a(2n))=1/2*(527+115*sqrt(21))

lim(n->Infinity, a(2n)/a(2n-1))=1/2*(23+5*sqrt(21))

FORMULA

Contribution from Ant King, Dec 20 2011: (Start)

a(n) = 12098*a(n-2)-a(n-4)-2016

a(n) = a(n-1)+12098*a(n-2)-12098*a(n-3)-a(n-4)+a(n-5)

a(n) = 1/84*((2+sqrt(21))*(7-sqrt(21)*(-1)^n)*(2*sqrt(7)+3*sqrt(3))^(2n-2)+ (2-sqrt(21))*(7+sqrt(21)*(-1)^n)*(2*sqrt(7)-3*sqrt(3))^(2n-2)+14)

a(n) = ceiling(1/84*(2+sqrt(21))*(7-sqrt(21)*(-1)^n)*(2*sqrt(7)+3*sqrt(3))^(2n-2))

GF: x*(1+20*x-1138*x^2-860*x^3-39*x^4) / ((1-x)*(1-110*x+x^2)*(1+110*x+x^2))
