COMMENTS

Sequence related to the 'silver mean' [5;5,5,5,5,...].

The solution to the general recurrence a(n)=(2k+1)a(n-1)+a(n-2), a(0)=2, a(1)=2k+1 is a(n)=((2k+1)+sqrt(4k^2+4k+5))^n+(2k+1)-sqrt(4k^2+4k+5))^n)/2; a(n)=2^(1-n)sum{j=0..n, C(n, 2j)(4k^2+4k+5)^j(2k+1)^(n-2j)}; a(n)=2T(n, (2k+1)x/2)(-1)^i with T(n, x) Chebyshev's polynomials of the first kind (see A053120) and i^2=-1. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Nov 15 2003

Primes in this sequence include a(0) = 2; a(1) = 5; a(4) = 727; a(8) = 528527 (3) semiprimes in this sequence include a(7) = 101785; a(13) = 1995189565; a(16) = 279340789727; a(19) = 39109705751345; a(20) = 203080369893127 - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Feb 09 2005

FORMULA

a(n)=((5+sqrt(29))/2)^n+((5-sqrt(29))/2)^n

E.g.f. : 2exp(5x/2)cosh(sqrt(29)x/2); a(n)=2^(1-n)sum{k=0..floor(n/2), C(n, 2k)29^k5^(n-2k)}. a(n)=2T(n, 5i/2)(-i)^n with T(n, x) Chebyshev's polynomials of the first kind (see A053120) and i^2=-1. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Nov 15 2003

O.g.f.: (-2+5*x)/(-1+5*x+x^2). - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Dec 02 2007

a(-n) = (-1)^n * a(n). - Michael Somos Nov 01 2008

Contribution from Johannes W. Meijer (meijgia(AT)hotmail.com), Jun 12 2010: (Start)

Limit(a(n+k)/a(k), k=infinity) = (A087130(n) + A052918(n-1)*sqrt(29))/2.

Limit(A087130(n)/A052918(n-1), n=infinity) = sqrt(29).
