FORMULA
From Vaclav Kotesovec, May 20 2015: (Start)
a(n) ~ c1^(d1^n) * c2^(d2^n) * c3^(d3^n), where
d1 = -1
d2 = (3-sqrt(5))/2 = 0.381966011250105151795413165634361882279690820194237...
d3 = (3+sqrt(5))/2 = 2.618033988749894848204586834365638117720309179805762...
are the roots of the equation d^3 + 1 = 2*d^2 + 2*d and
c1 = 0.9084730936822995591913406002175634029260903950386034752117808169903...
