COMMENTS

For any x=f(1) positive integer>1 there is an integer N(x) such that for any n>=N(x) f(n)/f(n-3)=4. N(2)=6 N(3)=5 N(4)=5 ... N(1479) =20. Conjecture: N(x) is asymptotic to C*Log(x) with C=0.3..... ( 3/10 < C < 4/10).

FORMULA

a(1)=2, a(2)=3, a(3)=4, a(4)=6, a(5)=10 and for n> 5 a(n) = 4*a(n-3)
