a(n+1)/a(n) converges to (137+sqrt(18773))/2 = 137.00729888121410965...

a(0)/a(1) = 2/137;

a(1)/a(2) = 137/18771;

a(2)/a(3) = 18771/2571764;

a(3)/a(4) = 2571764/352350439; ... etc.

Lim_{n->infinity} a(n)/a(n+1) = 0.00729888121410965... = 2/(137+sqrt(18773)) = (sqrt(18773)-137)/2.

Formula

a(n) = ((137+sqrt(18773))/2)^n + ((137-sqrt(18773))/2)^n.

(a(n))^2 = a(2*n)-2 if n = 1, 3, 5, ..., (a(n))^2 = a(2n) + 2 if n = 2, 4, 6, ...
