COMMENTS

Each pair {odd=x,even=y} terms gives solution to the Pell's equation x^2-2y^2=1. Note that odd/even terms have also odd/even indices. Ratio a(2k-1)/a(2k) tends to sqrt(2). Interrelations between odd and even terms: a(2k+1)=3a(2k-1)+4a(2k), e.g. 99=3*17+4*12, 577=3*99+4*70; a(2k)=3a(2k-2)+2a(2k-3), e.g., 70=3*12+2*17, 408=3*70+2*99. Odd terms = A001541, even terms = 2*A001109.
