COMMENTS

As n increases, the ratio of consecutive terms settles into an approximate 2-cycle with the ratio a(n)/a(n-1) bounded above and below by 2024+765*sqrt(7) and 8+3*sqrt(7) respectively. - Ant King, Dec 29 2011

FORMULA

G.f. x*(-1-12*x+12902*x^2+3036*x^3+203*x^4) / ( (x-1)*(x^2-254*x+1)*(x^2+254*x+1) ). - R. J. Mathar, Dec 21 2011

Contribution from Ant King, Dec 29 2011: (Start)

a(n) = 64514*a(n-2)-a(n-4)-16128.

a(n) = 1/56*sqrt(7)*(3*((3-sqrt(7)*(-1)^n)*(8+3*sqrt(7))^(2*n-2)-(3+sqrt(7)*(-1)^n)*(8-3*sqrt(7))^(2*n-2))+2*sqrt(7)).

a(n) = ceiling(3/56*sqrt(7)*(3-sqrt(7)*(-1)^n)*(8+3*sqrt(7))^(2*n-2)).

(End)
