%N Numerators of continued fraction convergents to sqrt(7)/2.

%C The denominators are given in A294973.

%C The continued fraction expansion of sqrt(7)/2 is 1, repeat(3, 10, 3, 2).

%H Colin Barker, <a href="/A294972/b294972.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000</a>

%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_08">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (0,0,0,254,0,0,0,-1).

%F From _Colin Barker_, Nov 19 2017: (Start)

%F G.f.: (1 + 4*x + 41*x^2 + 127*x^3 + 41*x^4 - 4*x^5 + x^6 - x^7) / ((1 - 16*x^2 + x^4)*(1 + 16*x^2 + x^4)).

%F a(n) = 254*a(n-4) - a(n-8) for n > 7.

%F (End)

%F The proof of the g.f. runs like the one given for the denominators in A294973. The recurrence for a(n) is the same but the input is now a(0) = b(0) = 1 and a(-1) = 1, (a(-2) = 0). - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Nov 19 2017
