The same sequence may be obtained by the following process. Starting a priori with the fraction 1/1, the numerators of fractions built according to the rule: add top and bottom to get the new bottom, add top and 6 times the bottom to get the new top. The limit of the sequence of fractions is sqrt(6). - Cino Hilliard (hillcino368(AT)gmail.com), Sep 25 2005

A002533(n)/A002532(n), n>0, converges to sqrt(6). - Mario Catalani (mario.catalani(AT)unito.it), Apr 22 2003

G.f.: (1-x)/(1-2x-5x^2). a(n)=(1/2)[(1+sqrt(6))^n+(1-sqrt(6))^n]. a(n)/A083694(n) converges to sqrt(3/2). a(n)/A083695(n) converges to sqrt(2/3). a(n)=a(n-1)+3*A083694(n-1), a(n)=a(n-1)+2*A083695(n-1), n>0. - Mario Catalani (mario.catalani(AT)unito.it), May 03 2003
