A117294 Number of sequences of length n starting with 1,2 which satisfy a recurrence a(k+1) = floor(c*a(k)) for some constant c. 1

COMMENTS
It appears that a(n+1)/a(n) may be converging slowly to 3, but even that it converges is not obvious.

EXAMPLE
a(4) = 5; length 4 sequences are 1,2,4,8; 1,2,4,9; 1,2,5,12; 1,2,5,13; and 1,2,5,14.
