COMMENTS

a(n+1)/a(n) converges to the golden ratio. - Stefan Steinerberger, Nov 19 2005

This is the sequence A(1,1;1,1;5) of the family of sequences [a,b:c,d:k] considered by G. Detlefs, and treated as A(a,b;c,d;k) in the W. Lang link given below. [From Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 17 2010]

FORMULA

for n>1: a(n) = a(n-1) + 6*F(n-1). (a(n)-1)/6 = A000071(n+1) = F(n+1) - 1. Hence a(n) = 6*F(n+1) - 5. - Jonathan Vos Post, Nov 19 2005

G.f.: (5*x^2-x+1)/(x^3-2*x+1) - Stefan Steinerberger, Nov 19 2005

a(n) = 3/2^n*((1+sqrt(5))^n+(1-sqrt(5))^n)+3/(sqrt(5)*2^n)*((1+sqrt(5))^n-(1-sqrt(5))^n)-5. - Paolo P. Lava, Jul 27 2011

EXAMPLE

a(2) = a(0) + a(1) + 5 = 1 + 1 + 5 = 7
