COMMENT

Convergent a(n+1)/a(n) = [(1+sqrt5)/2]*(1+sqrt2) = (1.618...)*(2.414213...) = 3.9062796...= (1 + sqrt2 + sqrt5 + sqrt10)/2; (since with large n, A000204 is approximated by PHI^n & A002203 is approximated by (1+sqrt2)^n, with the fractional part of each becoming negligible as n approaches infinity. Check: a(11)/a(10) = 3231362/827298 = 3.9059226...

FORMULA

1. a(n) = [A000204(n)]*[A002203(n)], n>0. 2. a(n) = 2*[A085292(n)] 3. a(n) = [((1+sqrt5)/2)^n + ((1-sqrt5)/2)^n]*[(1+sqrt2)^n + (1-sqrt2)^n].

EXAMPLE

1. a(4) = 238 = [A000204(4)]*[A002203(4)] = (7)(34); where 7 = L4 in the Lucas series: 1, 3, 4, 7...; & A002203 = 2, 6, 14, 34, 82, 198, 478...

2. a(4) = 238 = (2)(119) = (2)[A085292(4)]

3. A000204(4) = 7 = [(1+sqrt5/2)]^4 + [(1-sqrt5)/2)^4]; A002203(4) = 34 = (1+sqrt2)^4 + (1-sqrt2)^4; & A085293(4) = (7)(34) = 238.
