A072951 a(n)=sum(k>=2,z(k)*v(k)^n) where v(k) is the real positive solution to x^k=x+1 (i.e. the k-th Pisot-Vijayaraghavan number) and z(k) is the real positive root of a polynomial P(k,x) with integer coefficients of degree k. +0

COMMENT

In particular a(n) is asymptotic to (1/10)*(5+sqrt(5))*phi^n where phi is the golden ratio. First P(k,x) are P(2,x)=5x^2-5x-1; P(3,x)=23x^3-23x^2+8x-1; P(4)=283x^4-283x^3+105x^2-17x+1; P(5)=2869x^5-2869x^4+1154x^3-234x^2+24x -1
