A145542/a(n) tends to sqrt(3/5).
FORMULA
Use the partial quotients of the continued fraction expansion of sqrt(3/5) as recursive operation multipliers, given a(1) = 1, a(2) = 4.
Empirical G.f.: x*(1+4*x+x^2-x^3)/(1-8*x^2+x^4). - Colin Barker, Jan 04 2012
EXAMPLE
Since the partial quotients of CF sqrt(3/5)= [1, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3,...] denominators are 1, 4, 9, 31, 71, 244, 559,...; given a(1) = 1, a(2) = 4.
