COMMENT

a(n)->-(-1)^n sqrt(2), a slowly converging sequence. In general, for recursive sequence: a(n)=Sum[i=1,...,k<n,c(i)/a(i)], asymptotic solution is: a(n)-> +/- Sqrt[Sum[i=1,..,k,abs[c(i)]]], independently on initial a(i).

FORMULA

a(n>2)=-1/a(n-1)+1/a(n-2), a(1)=1, a(2)=2, a(n)->-(-1)^n sqrt(2).

EXAMPLE

a(3)=-1/a(2)+1/a(1)=-1/2+1=1/2, therefore in the sequence, 3rd term is 2.
