FORMULA

a(n) = ((2 + sqrt(7))^n + (2 - sqrt(7))^n) / 2.

G.f.: (1 - 2*x) / (1 - 4*x - 3*x^2).

E.g.f.: exp(2*x)*cosh(sqrt(7)*x).

a(n+1)/a(n) converges to 2 + sqrt(7) = 4.645751311064...

Limit(a(n+k)/a(k), k=infinity) = A108851(n)+A015530(n)*sqrt(7); also Limit(A108851(n)/A015530(n), n=infinity) = sqrt(7). [Johannes W. Meijer, Aug 01 2010]

a(n) = Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n} A201730(n,k)*6^k . - DELEHAM Philippe, Dec 06 2011
