A083098(n+1)/a(n) converges to sqrt(7). %C A083099 The same sequence may be obtained by the following process. Starting a priori with the fraction 1/1, the denominators of fractions built according to the rule: add top and bottom to get the new bottom, add top and 7 times the bottom to get the new top. The limit of the sequence of fractions is sqrt(7). - Cino Hilliard (hillcino368(AT)gmail.com), Sep 25 2005 %D A083099 John Derbyshire, Prime Obsession, Joseph Henry Press, April 2004, see p. 16. %F A083099 G.f.: 1/(1-2x-6x^2). %F A083099 E.g.f. : dif(exp(x)sinh(sqrt(7)x)/sqrt(7), x); a(n-1)=sum{k=0..n, binomial(n, 2k+1)7^k}. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Sep 29 2004 %F A083099 a(n)=-(1/14)*[1-sqrt(7)]^n*sqrt(7)+(1/14)*[1+sqrt(7)]^n*sqrt(7), with n>=0 - Paolo P.
