A061647 Beginning at the well for the topograph of a positive definite quadratic form with values 1, 1, 1 at a superbase (i.e. 1, 1 and 1 are the vonorms of the superbase), these numbers indicate the labels of the edges of the topograph on a path of greatest ascent. +0

COMMENT

Form the matrix A=[1,1,1;2,1,0;1,0,0]. a(n) is the sum of the second row elements of A^n. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Sep 22 2004

REFERENCES

J. H. Conway, The Sensual (Quadratic) Form, MAA.

FORMULA

a(1)=1, a(2)=3, a(3)=9, a(n)=2*a(n-1)+2*a(n-2)-a(n-3) for n > 3

a(n)=Fib(n)^2+Fib(n-1)^2+2Fib(n)Fib(n+1)+3Fib(n-1)Fib(n) [offset 0]. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Sep 22 2004

a(n)=fib(n+1)^2-fib(n-2)^2-(-1)^n - Thomas Baruchel (baruchel(AT)users.sourceforge.net), Jul 29 2005

EXAMPLE

a(7)=417 since a(7)=2*a(6)+2*a(5)-a(4)=2*159+2*6-23.
