Sequence is related to the fifth metallic mean [5;5,5,5,5,...] (see A098318).

The solution to the general recurrence b(n) = (2*k+1)*b(n-1)+b(n-2) with b(0)=2, b(1) = 2*k+1 is b(n) = ((2*k+1)+sqrt(4*k^2+4*k+5))^n+(2*k+1)-sqrt(4*k^2+4*k+5))^n)/2; b(n) = 2^(1-n)*Sum_{j=0..n} C(n, 2*j)*(4*k^2+4*k+5)^j*(2*k+1)^(n-2*j); b(n) = 2*T(n, (2*k+1)*x/2)(-1)^i with T(n, x) Chebyshev's polynomials of the first kind (see A053120) and i^2=-1. - Paul Barry, Nov 15 2003

Index entries for recurrences a(n) = k*a(n - 1) +/- a(n - 2)

Index entries for sequences related to Chebyshev polynomials.

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (5,1).

Formula

a(n) = ((5+sqrt(29))/2)^n+((5-sqrt(29))/2)^n.

a(n) = A100236(n) + 1.

E.g.f. : 2*exp(5*x/2)*cosh(sqrt(29)*x/2); a(n) = 2^(1-n)*Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} C(n, 2k)*29^k*5^(n-2*k). a(n) = 2T(n, 5i/2)(-i)^n with T(n, x) Chebyshev's polynomials of the first kind (see A053120) and i^2=-1. - Paul Barry, Nov 15 2003

A090248(n) = a(2*n). 5 * A097834(n) = a(2*n + 1). - Michael Somos, Nov 01 2008

Limit(a(n+k)/a(k), k=infinity) = (A087130(n) + A052918(n-1)*sqrt(29))/2. Limit(A087130(n)/A052918(n-1), n= infinity) = sqrt(29). - Johannes W. Meijer, Jun 12 2010

a(3n+1) = A041046(5n), a(3n+2) = A041046(5n+3) and a(3n+3) = 2*A041046 (5n+4). - Johannes W. Meijer, Jun 12 2010

a(n) = 2*A052918(n) - 5*A052918(n-1). - R. J. Mathar, Oct 02 2020
