COMMENT

Real Pisot roots (the eigenvalues of M): 2-sqrt(2)= 0.585786, 2+sqrt(2)=3.41421. a(n)=-2*A007070(n-1) for n>=1.

FORMULA

a(n)=first entry of v[n], where v[n]=Mv[n-1], M is the 2 X 2 matrix [[0, -2], [1, 4]] and v[0] is the column vector [0,1]. G.f.=-2x/(1-4x+2x^2). a(n)=4a(n-1)-2a(n-2); a(0)=0, a(1)=-2.

a(n)=-(1/2)*sqrt(2)*[2+sqrt(2)]^n+(1/2)*[2-sqrt(2)]^n*sqrt(2), with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (ppl(AT)spl.at), Oct 07 2008]

MAPLE

a[0]:=0: a[1]:=-2: for n from 2 to 27 do a[n]:=4*a[n-1]-2*a[n-2] od: seq(a[n], n=0..27);

MATHEMATICA

M = {{0, -2}, {1, 4}} v[1] = {0, 1} v[n_] := v[n] = M.v[n - 1] a = Table[Abs[v[n][[1]]], {n, 1, 50}]
