COMMENTS
c^n = A015440(n) + A015440(n-1) * A222135, where c = (1 + sqrt(21))/2 and A222135 = (-1 + sqrt(21))/2. - Gary W. Adamson, Nov 27 2023
FORMULA
Equals (sqrt(21) + 1)/2 = A090458 - 1 = A107905 - 2 = A222135 + 1.
sqrt(5 + sqrt(5 + sqrt(5 + sqrt(5 + ... )))) - 1 = sqrt(5 - sqrt(5 - sqrt(5 - sqrt(5 - ... )))) = A222135.
