COMMENTS

a(n+1)/a(n) converges to (14+sqrt(195)) =27.96424004... Lim a(n)/a(n+1) as n approaches infinity = 0.03575995... = 1/(14+sqrt(195)) = (14-sqrt(195)). Lim a(n+1)/a(n) as n approaches infinity = 27.96424004... = (14+sqrt(195)) = 1/(14-sqrt(195)). Lim a(n)/a(n+1) = 28 - Lim a(n+1)/a(n).

FORMULA

a(n) =28a(n-1) - a(n-2), starting with a(0) = 2 and a(1) = 28. a(n) = (14+sqrt(195))^n + (14-sqrt(195))^n. (a(n))^2 =a(2n)+2.

G.f.: (2-28*x)/(1-28*x+x^2). [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 02 2008]

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 611522 = 28a(3) - a(2) = 28*21868 - 782 =(14+sqrt(195))^4 + (14-sqrt(195))^4 =611521.999998364 + 0.000001635 =611522.
