COMMENT

a(n+1)/a(n) converges to (6+sqrt(35)) = 11.9160797... a(0)/a(1)=2/12; a(1)/a(2)=12/142; a(2)/a(3)=142/1692; a(3)/a(4)=1692/20162; ... etc. Lim a(n)/a(n+1) as n approaches infinity = 0.0839202... = 1/(6+sqrt(35)) = (6-sqrt(35)).

FORMULA

G.f.: (2-12x)/(1-12x+x^2). [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 17 2008]

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 20162 = 12a(3) - a(2) = 12*1692 - 142 =(6+sqrt(35))^4 + (6-sqrt(35))^4 =

20161.9999504 + 0.00004959 = 20162.

MATHEMATICA
