Beginning at the well for the topograph of a positive definite quadratic form with values 1, 1, 1 at a superbase (i.e. 1, 1 and 1 are the vonorms of the superbase), these numbers indicate the labels of the edges of the topograph on a path of greatest ascent.

FORMULA
| a(1)=1, a(2)=3, a(3)=9, a(n)=2*a(n-1)+2*a(n-2)-a(n-3) for n > 3
a(n)=Fib(n)^2+Fib(n-1)^2+2Fib(n)Fib(n+1)+3Fib(n-1)Fib(n) [offset 0]. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Sep 22 2004
a(n)=fib(n+1)^2-fib(n-2)^2-(-1)^n - Thomas Baruchel (baruchel(AT)users.sourceforge.net), Jul 29 2005

EXAMPLE
| a(7)=417 since a(7)=2*a(6)+2*a(5)-a(4)=2*159+2*6-23.
