%N A006888 a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) a(n-3).
%C A006888 Tends towards something like 1.60119...^(1.3247...^n) where 1.3247...
= (1/2+sqrt(23/108))^(1/3)+(1/2-sqrt(23/108))^(1/3) is the smallest
Pisot-Vijayaraghavan number A060006. Any four consecutive terms are
pairwise coprime. - Henry Bottomley (se16(AT)btinternet.com), Sep

%F A006888 Lim n->inf a(n)/(a(n-1)*a(n-5)) = 1 agrees with lim n->inf a(n) = c^(P^n)
(c=1.60119..., P=PisotV) since PisotV is real root of x^3-x-1 and
thus a root of x^5-x^4-1 because x^5-x^4-1 = (x^3-x-1)*(x^2-x+1)
and c^(P^n)/(c^(P^(n-1)*c^(P^(n-5)) = c^(P^(n-5)*(P^5-P^4-1)). -
