COMMENTS

Real Pisot roots (the eigenvalues of M): -0.541381, 5.54138. a(n)=3*A015536(n).

FORMULA

a(n)=first entry of v[n], where v[n]=Mv[n-1], M is the 2 X 2 matrix [[0, 4], [1, 4]] and v[0] is the column vector [0,1]. a(n)=5a(n-1)+3a(n-2); a(0)=0, a(1)=3.

a(n)=(3/37)*[5/2+(1/2)*sqrt(37)]^n*sqrt(37)-(3/37)*[5/2-(1/2)*sqrt(37)]^n*sqrt(37), with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Oct 07 2008]

MAPLE

a[0]:=0: a[1]:=3: for n from 2 to 23 do a[n]:=5*a[n-1]+3*a[n-2] od: seq(a[n], n=0..23);

MATHEMATICA

M = {{0, 3}, {1, 5}} v[1] = {0, 1} v[n_] := v[n] = M.v[n - 1] a = Table[v[n][[1]], {n, 1, 50}]

CROSSREFS

Equals 3*A015536.
