Related sequence pairs (numerator, denominator) can be obtained by choosing N = 2, 3, 6, etc.
The sequence satisfies the Pell equation A081459(n+1)^2 - 5*a(n+1)^2 = 1. - Vincenzo Librandi, Dec 20 2011

FORMULA
a(n) = 2*a(n-1)*A081459(n-1). - Mario Catalani (mario.catalani(AT)unito.it), May 21 2003
From Amiram Eldar, Apr 07 2023: (Start)
a(n) = A079613(n-1)/2.
a(n) = Product_{k=1..n-1} L(3*2^(n-1-k)), where L(k) is the k-th Lucas number (A000032). (End)
a(n) = A001076(2^(n-1)). - Robert FERREOL, Apr 18 2023
