FORMULA

a(n) = leftmost term in M^n * [1 0 0], where M = the 3X3 matrix [1 1 1 / 2 0 0 / 0 1 0]. a(n) = a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) + 2*a(n-3). a(n)/a(n-1) tends to 2.26953084..., an eigenvalue of M and a root of the characteristic polynomial x^3 - x^2 - 2x - 2. a(6) = 79 = 35 + 2*15 + 2*7 = a(5) + 2*a(4) + 2*a(3). - Gary W.
