%N a(n) = a(n-1)*a(n-2) with a(0)=1, a(1)=3.

%C From _Peter Bala_, Nov 01 2013: (Start)

%C Let phi = (1/2)*(1 + sqrt(5)) denote the golden ratio A001622. This sequence gives the simple continued fraction expansion of the constant c := 2*Sum_{n>=1} 1/3^floor(n*phi) (= 4*Sum_{n>=1} floor(n/phi)/3^n) = 0.768597560593155198508 ... = 1/(1 + 1/(3 + 1/(3 + 1/(9 + 1/(27 + 1/(243 + 1/(6561 + ...))))))). The constant c is known to be transcendental (see Adams and Davison 1977). Cf. A014565.

%C Furthermore, for k = 0,1,2,... if we put X(k) = sum {n >= 1} 1/3^(n*Fibonacci(k) + Fibonacci(k+1)*floor(n*phi)) then the real number X(k+1)/X(k) has the simple continued fraction expansion [0; a(k+1), a(k+2), a(k+3), ...] (apply Bowman 1988, Corollary 1). (End)
