COMMENTS

a(n)/a(n-1) tends to 16.136227625...an eigenvalue of M and a root of the characteristic polynomial x^3 - 17x^2 + 14x - 1.

FORMULA

a(n) = leftmost term in M^n * [1 0 0], where M = the 3 X 3 matrix [1 1 2 / 1 2 5 / 2 5 14]. a(n) = 17*a(n-1) - 14*a(n-2) + a(n-3).

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 1430 since M^4 * [1 0 0] = [1430 3338 9151].

a(6) = 372259 = 17*23070 - 14*1430 + 89 = 17*a(5) - 14*a(4) + a(3).
