Table of n, a(n) for n=0..13.

Formula

a(n+2) = a(n+1)*a(n) - a(n) - a(n+1) + 2, a(0)=2, a(1)=3.

Binet type formula: log_2(a(n)-1) = (1/sqrt(5)) * (r^n - s^n), where r and s are the roots of x^2-x-1. (this is true by definition).

a(n) = A000301(n) + 1 = A063896(n) + 2. - Alois P. Heinz, Aug 12 2017
