%C From _Ant King_, Nov 18 2011: (Start)

%C lim( n -> Infinity, a(2n+1)/a(2n)) = 1/25 * (137 + 36 * sqrt(14)).

%C lim( n -> Infinity, a(2n)/a(2n-1)) = 1/25 * (39 + 8 * sqrt(14)).

%F From _Ant King_, Nov 18 2011: (Start)

%F a(n) = 30 * a(n-2) - a(n-4).

%F G.f.: x * (1 + x) ^ 3 / (1 - 30 * x ^ 2 + x ^ 4).

%F Let p = 8 * sqrt(7) + 9 * sqrt(14) - 7 * sqrt(2) - 28 and q = 7 * sqrt(2) + 9 * sqrt(14) - 8 * sqrt(7) - 28. Then

%F a(n) = 1/112 * ( ( p + q * (-1) ^ n) * ( 2 * sqrt(2) + sqrt(7)) ^ n - ( p - q * (-1) ^ n) * ( 2 * sqrt(2) - sqrt(7)) ^ ( n - 1) ).

%F a(n) = floor ( 1/112 * ( p + q * (-1) ^ n) * ( 2 * sqrt(2) + sqrt(7)) ^ n ).
