COMMENT

a(n+1)=a(n)+7*A083099(n-1), a(n+1)/A083099(n) converges to sqrt(7).

Binomial transform of expansion of cosh(sqrt(7)x) (A000420 with interpolated zeros : 1, 0, 7, 0, 49, 0, 343, 0, ...).

The same sequence may be obtained by the following process. Starting a priori with the fraction 1/1, the numerators of fractions built according to the rule: add top and bottom to get the new bottom, add top and 7 times the bottom to get the new top. The limit of the sequence of fractions is sqrt(7). - Cino Hilliard (hillcino368(AT)gmail.com), Sep 25 2005

FORMULA

G.f.: (1-x)/(1-2x-6x^2).

a(n)=(1+sqrt(7))^n/2+(1-sqrt(7))^n/2 with e.g.f. exp(x)cosh(sqrt(7)x).

a(n)=Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n}A098158(n,k)*7^(n-k). - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Dec 26 2007
