COMMENTS
| a(n+1) = a(n)+A083098(n+1). A083098(n+1)/a(n) converges to sqrt(7).
The same sequence may be obtained by the following process. Starting a priori with the fraction 1/1, the denominators of fractions built according to the rule: add top and bottom to get the new bottom, add top and 7 times the bottom to get the new top. The limit of the sequence of fractions is sqrt(7). - Cino Hilliard (hillcino368(AT)gmail.com), Sep 25 2005

| G.f.: x/(1-2x-6x^2).
E.g.f. : dif(exp(x)sinh(sqrt(7)x)/sqrt(7), x); a(n-1)=sum{k=0..n, binomial(n, 2k+1)7^k}. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Sep 29 2004
a(n)=-(1/14)*[1-sqrt(7)]^n*sqrt(7)+(1/14)*[1+sqrt(7)]^n*sqrt(7), with n>=0 - Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Jun 10 2008
Simplified formula: ((1+sqrt7)^n-(1-sqrt7)^n)/sqrt28. Offset 1. a(3)=10 [From Al Hakanson (hawkuu(AT)gmail.com), Jan 05 2009]
