%C Inspired by the formula for the determinant of a 2 X 2 matrix.
%C Sequence b(n,p) = a(n) (mod p), p prime, n>4, is a periodic sequence. Letting l(p) denotes the length of the period of b(n,p) is there any rule for l(p) ? - _Benoit Cloitre_, Nov 19 2003
%F a(1)=a(2)=a(3)=a(4)=1, for n>4 a(n)=a(n-4)*a(n-2)-a(n-3)*a(n-1).
%F a(n) is asymptotic (in absolute value) to B^(r^n) where r is the real root of 1+x^2-x^3 and B>1. - _Benoit Cloitre_, Nov 19 2003
