The ratio a(n+1)/a(n) alternates between 5.3722813232690143299 and 1.3722813232690143299.
FORMULA
Given the auxiliary b(0)=b(1)=1 and b(n) = b(n-1)/2 + b(n-2) *sqrt(5-(-1)^n*4) /2, a(n) =2^(n-1)*b(n).
a(n) = a(n-1)+6*a(n-2) if n is odd. a(n) = a(n-1)+2*a(n-2) if n is even. - R. J. Mathar, Jun 18 2014
