COMMENT

Let b(1)=1, b(k)=floor(b(k-1))+3/b(k-1); then for n>1, b(n)=a(n)/a(n-1). - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Sep 09 2002

In general, x/(1-a*x-b*x^2) has a(n)=sum{k=0..floor((n-1)/2),C(n-k-1,k)b^k*a^(n-2k-1)}. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Apr 23 2005

FORMULA

a(n) = 4 a(n-1) + 3 a(n-2).

G.f.: x/(1-4x-3x^2). a(n) = (A086901(n+2) - A086901(n+1))/6. - Ralf Stephan (ralf(AT)ark.in-berlin.de), Feb 01 2004

a(n)=sum{k=0..floor((n-1)/2), C(n-k-1, k)3^k*4^(n-2k-1)} - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Apr 23 2005
