COMMENT

a(n+1)/a(n) converges to (15+sqrt(229))/2 = 15.066372... Lim a(n)/a(n+1) as n approaches infinity = 0.066372... = 2/(15+sqrt(229)) = (sqrt(229)-15)/2. Lim a(n+1)/a(n) as n approaches infinity = 15.066372... = (15+sqrt(229))/2 = 2/(sqrt(229)-15).

FORMULA

a(n) =15a(n-1) + a(n-2), starting with a(0) = 2 and a(1) = 15. a(n) = ((15+sqrt(229))/2)^n + ((15-sqrt(229))/2)^n, (a(n))^2 =a(2n)-2 if n=1, 3, 5..., (a(n))^2 =a(2n)+2 if n=2, 4, 6....

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 51527 = 15a(3) + a(2) = 15*3420+ 227=((15+sqrt(229))/2)^4 + ((15-sqrt(229))/2)^4 = 51526.9999805 + 0.0000194 =51527
