%N A114950 A quartic quadratic recurrence.
%C A114950 a(6) has 315 digits. This sequence is related to: A112969 "quartic Fibonacci 
               sequence" a(1) = a(2) = 1; for n>2: a(n) = a(n-1)^4 + a(n-2)^4, which 
               is the quartic (or biquadratic) analogue of the Fibonacci sequence 
               similarly to A000283 being the quadratic analogue of the Fibonacci 
               sequence. Primes in this sequence include a(n) for n = 2, 3. Semiprimes 
               in this sequence include a(n) for n = 5.
%F A114950 a(0) = a(1) = 1, for n>1 a(n) = a(n-2)^4 + a(n-1)^2.
%e A114950 a(2) = a(1)^4 + a(0)^2 = 1^4 + 1^2 = 2.
%e A114950 a(3) = a(2)^4 + a(1)^2 = 2^4 + 1^2 = 17.
%e A114950 a(4) = a(3)^4 + a(2)^2 = 17^4 + 2^2 = 83525.
%e A114950 a(5) = a(4)^4 + a(3)^2 = 83525^4 + 17^2 = 48670514501156640914.
