%N Numbers which are both decagonal and pentagonal.

%C As n increases, this sequence is approximately geometric with common ratio r = lim(n->Infinity, a(n)/a(n-1)) = (sqrt(3)+sqrt(2))^8 = 4801+1960*sqrt(6).

%C Intersection of A000326 and A001107. - _Michel Marcus_, Jun 20 2015

%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_03">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (9603,-9603,1).

%F G.f.: x*(1+2773*x+126*x^2) / ((1-x)*(1-9602*x+x^2)).

%F a(n) = 9602*a(n-1)-a(n-2)+2900.

%F a(n) = 9603*a(n-1)-9603*a(n-2)+a(n-3).

%F a(n) = 1/192*(25*((sqrt(3)+sqrt(2))^(8*n-6)+(sqrt(3)-sqrt(2))^(8*n-6))-58).

%F a(n) = floor(25/192*(sqrt(3)+sqrt(2))^(8*n-6)).

%e The second natural number which is both pentagonal and decagonal is 12376. Hence a(2) = 12376.
