%F a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3).

%F a(n)/a(n-1) tends to 4.3652300134..., an eigenvalue of the matrix M and an inverse root of the polynomial x^3 - 3x^2 + 5x - 1. [a(n-2), a(n-1), a(n)] = M^n * [1 1 1], where M = the 3 X 3 matrix [ 5 -3 1 / 1 0 0 / 0 1 0]. E.g., a(3), a(4), a(5) = 57, 249, 1087. M^5 * [1 1 1] = [57, 249, 1087] - _Gary W. Adamson_, Apr 25 2004
