Real Pisot roots (the eigenvalues of M): (5-sqrt(13))/2=0.697224,(5+sqrt(13))/2= 4.30278

FORMULA

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

a(n)=(3/13)*[5/2-(1/2)*sqrt(13)]^n*sqrt(13)-(3/13)*sqrt(13)*[5/2+(1/2)*sqrt(13)]^n, with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Oct 07 2008]

a(n) = -3*A116415(n-1), n>0.

MAPLE

a[0]:=0: a[1]:=-3: for n from 2 to 22 do a[n]:=5*a[n-1]-3*a[n-2] od: seq(a[n], n=0..22);

MATHEMATICA

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