Comments

The limit a(n) / (5^(n/4) * phi^(n*(n+1)) / (2*Pi*n)^(n/2)) does not exist but oscillates between 2 attractors. The value is dependent on the fractional part of n/(sqrt(5)*phi), see graph. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jan 28 2019

Formula

a(n)^(1/n) ~ 5^(1/4) * phi^(n+1) / sqrt(2*Pi*n), where phi = A001622 = (1+sqrt(5))/2 is the golden ratio. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jan 27 2019

log(a(n)) ~ n*(n*v + w - log(n))/2 with v = 2*log((1 + sqrt(5))/2) and w = log((35 + 15*sqrt(5))/(8*Pi^2))/2, preceding formula recast. - Peter Luschny, Jan 28 2019
