COMMENTS

A100295 is generated from M^n * [1 0 0]. a(n)/a(n-1) tends to 4.4026788295...a root of the characteristic polynomial of M, x^3 - 4x^2 - 2x + 1 and an eigenvalue of M.

FORMULA

a(n) = rightmost term in M^n * [1 1 1]. a(n) = 4*a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) - a(n-3).

EXAMPLE

a(5) = 488 since M^5 * [1 1 1] = [2149 1263 488]. 2149 = a(6).

a(8) = 4*a(7) + 2*a(6) - a(5) =41654 = 4*9461 + 2*2149 - 488.
