COMMENTS

a(n) / a(n-1) converges to (3 + (3 * 5^1/2)) / 2 as n approaches infinity. (3 + (3 * 5^1/2)) / 2 can also be written as Phi^2 + (2 * Phi) - 1, Phi^3 + Phi - 1, Phi + 5^1/2 + 1, 3 * Phi, (3 * Phi^2) - 3, Phi^4 - 2 and (3 + (3 * (L(n) / F(n)))) / 2, where L(n) is the n-th Lucas number and F(n) is the n-th Fibonacci number as n approaches infinity.

FORMULA

a(n) = s*a(n-1) + r*a(n-2); for n > 1, where a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1, s = 3, r = 9

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 405 because a(3) = 81, a(2) = 18, s = 3, r = 9 and (3 * 81) + (9 * 18) = 405.
