COMMENTS
This is the most natural example of the fact that the sum of two periodic continued fractions need not have a periodic continued fraction.
a(n) is the numbers of squares removed at stage n of the continued-fraction partitioning of a rectangle of length L and width W satisfying W=L*sqrt(8); see A188640. - Clark Kimberling, Apr 13 2011
