Comments

Pisot sequence T(6,8).

Trivial case of a Pisot sequence satisfying a simple linear recurrence. Here, since round((2*n+2)^2/(2*n)^2) = 2*n + round((n+1)/n^2) = 2*n for n > 2, a(n) is even and a(n) = a(n-1) + 2. - Ralf Stephan, Sep 03 2013

Formula

a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-2).

From Elmo R. Oliveira, Oct 30 2024: (Start)

G.f.: 2*(3 - 2*x)/(1 - x)^2.

E.g.f.: 2*exp(x)*(3 + x).

a(n) = 2*A009056(n+1) = A028557(n+1) - A028557(n). (End)
