COMMENTS

lim_{n -> infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = 7+sqrt(7) = 9.6457513110....

FORMULA

a(n) = 14*a(n-1)-42*a(n-2) for n>1; a(0)=0, a(1)=1. G.f.: x/(1-14x+42x^2). [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Jan 06 2009]

MATHEMATICA

Join[{a=1, b=14}, Table[c=14*b-42*a; a=b; b=c, {n, 60}]] (*From Vladimir Joseph Stephan Orlovsky, Feb 01 2011*)
