COMMENT

Average of first 2^(n+1) powers of 3 divided by average of first 2^n powers of 3.

Numerator of b(n) where b(n) = 1/2*(b(n-1) + 1/b(n-1)), b(0)=2. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Aug 15 2002

FORMULA

a(n) = a(n-1)*(3^(2^(n-1))+1)-3^(2^(n-1)) = A059723(n+1)/A059723(n) = A059918(n)+1 = a(n-1)*A059919(n-1)-A011764(n-1)

EXAMPLE

a(2) = Average(1,3,9,27,81,243,729,2187)/Average(1,3,9,27) = 410/10 = 41
