%F A098316 3 plus the constant in A085550. [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl),

%F A098316 Comments from Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Jan 
               02 2009 (Start): Set c:=(3+sqrt(13))/2. Then the fractional part 
               of c^n equals 1/c^n, if n odd. For even n, the fractional part of 
               c^n is equal to 1-(1/c^n).
%F A098316 c:=(3+sqrt(13))/2 suffices c-c^(-1)=floor(c)=3, hence c^n+(-c)^(-n)=nint(c^n) 
               for n>0, which follows from the general formula of A001622.
%F A098316 1/c=(sqrt(13)-3)/2.
%F A098316 See A001622 for a general formula concerning the fractional parts of 
               powers of numbers x>1, which suffice x-x^(-1)=floor(x).
%F A098316 Other examples of constants x satisfying the relation x-x^(-1)=floor(x) 
               include A001622 (the golden ratio: where floor(x)=1) and A014176 
               (the silver ratio: where floor(x)=2).

%E A098316 For reasons following from the formula section, this constant could be 
               called "the bronze ratio". For this, compare with A001622 and A014176.
