COMMENTS

General formula for continued cotangent recurrences type:

a(n+1)=a(n)3+3*a(n) and a(1)=k is following:

a(n)=Floor[((k+Sqrt[k^2+4])/2)^(3^(n-1))]

For k=1 see A006267

k=2 see A006266

k=3 see A006268

k=4 see A006267(n+1)

k=5 see A006269

k=6 see A145180

k=7 see A145181

k=8 see A145182

k=9 see A145183

k=10 see A145184

k=11 see A145185

k=12 see A145186

k=13 see A145187

k=14 see A145188

k=15 see A145189

FORMULA

a(n+1)=a(n)3+3*a(n) and a(1)=9

a(n)=Floor[((9+Sqrt[9^2+4])/2)^(3^(n-1))]

MATHEMATICA

a = {}; k = 9; Do[AppendTo[a, k]; k = k^3 + 3 k, {n, 1, 6}]; a

or
