COMMENT

a(n+1)/a(n) converges to (13+sqrt(173))/2 = 13.07647321... a(0)/a(1)=2/13; a(1)/a(2)=13/171; a(2)/a(3)=171/2236; a(3)/a(4)= 2236/29239; ... etc. Lim a(n)/a(n+1) as n approaches infinity = 0.07647321... = 2/(13+sqrt(173)) = (sqrt(173)-13)/2.

FORMULA

a(n) = 13a(n-1) + a(n-2), starting with a(0) = 2 and a(1) = 13. a(n) = [(13+sqrt(173))/2]^n + [(13-sqrt(173))/2]^n.

G.f.: (2-13*x)/(1-13*x-x^2). [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 02 2008]

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 29239 = 13a(3) + a(2) = 13*2236 + 171 = [(13+sqrt(173))/2]^4 + [(13-sqrt(173))/2]^4 = 29238.9999657 + 0.0000342 =29239.
