COMMENT

Tends towards something like 1.60119...^(1.3247...^n) where 1.3247... = (1/2+sqrt(23/108))^(1/3)+(1/2-sqrt(23/108))^(1/3) is the smallest Pisot-Vijayaraghavan number A060006. Any four consecutive terms are pairwise coprime. - Henry Bottomley (se16(AT)btinternet.com), Sep 25 2002

FORMULA

Lim n->inf a(n)/(a(n-1)*a(n-5)) = 1 agrees with lim n->inf a(n) = c^(P^n) (c=1.60119..., P=PisotV) since PisotV is real root of x^3-x-1 and thus a root of x^5-x^4-1 because x^5-x^4-1 = (x^3-x-1)*(x^2-x+1) and c^(P^n)/(c^(P^(n-1)*c^(P^(n-5)) = c^(P^(n-5)*(P^5-P^4-1)). - Gerald McGarvey (Gerald.McGarvey(AT)comcast.net), Aug 14 2004
