A070233 Let u(k), v(k), w(k) satisfy the recursions u(1) = v(1) = w(1) = 1, u(k+1) = u(k) + v(k) + w(k), v(k+1) = u(k)*v(k) + v(k)*w(k) + w(k)*u(k), and w(k+1) = u(k)*v(k)*w(k) for k >= 1; then a(n) = w(n).

Formula

Let C be the positive root of x^3 + x^2 - 2*x - 1 = 0: that is, C = 1.246979603717... = A255249. Then Lim_{n -> infinity} u(n)^(C+1)/w(n)= Lim_{n -> infinity} v(n)^C/w(n) = Lim_{n -> infinity} u(n)^B/v(n) = 1 with B = C + 1 - 1/(1 + C) = 1.8019377... = A160389.

a(n) ~ gw^((C + 1)^n), where C is defined above and gw = 1.321128752475732548... The relation between constants gu (see A070231), gv (see A070234) and gw is gu^(1 + C) = gv^C = gw. - Vaclav Kotesovec, May 11 2020
