COMMENT

While this sequence has period 8, the unrounded version b(n)=(b(n-1)+b(n-2))/b(n-3) seems to have a quasi-period of about 8.7 for this particular starting point.

Terms of the simple continued fraction of 1198/[sqrt(5368485)-1563]. [From Paolo P. Lava (ppl(AT)spl.at), Aug 06 2009]

FORMULA

a(n)=a(n-8)

a(n)=1/56*{19*(n mod 8)+12*[(n+1) mod 8]+12*[(n+2) mod 8]-9*[(n+3) mod 8]-2*[(n+4) mod 8]-2*[(n+5) mod 8]+5*[(n+6) mod 8]+5*[(n+7) mod 8]} with n>=0 - Paolo P. Lava (ppl(AT)spl.at), Nov 27 2006

EXAMPLE

a(7)=round[(a(6)+a(5))/a(4)]=round[(5+3)/2]=4
