COMMENT

More generally the sequence a(1)=1, a(n)=ceiling(r(z)*a(n-1)) where r(z)= (1/2) *(z+sqrt(z^2+4)) is the positive root of X^2=z*X+1 satisfies the linear recurrence : n>3 a(n)=(z+1)*a(n-1)-(z-1)*a(n-2)-a(n-3) and the closed form formula : a(n)=floor(t(z)*r(z)^n) where t(z)=1/(2*z)*(1+(z+2)/sqrt(z^2+4)) is the positive root of z*(z^2+4)*X^2=(z^2+4)*X+1.

FORMULA

a(1)=1, a(2)=4, a(3)=14, a(n)=4a(n-1)-2a(n-2)-a(n-3); a(n)=floor(t(3)*r(3)^n) where t(3)=1/6*(1+5/sqrt(13)) is the positive root of 39*X^2=13*X+1.
