COMMENT

a(n+1)/a(n) converges to (8+sqrt(65)) = 16.0622577... Lim a(n)/a(n+1) as n approaches infinity = 0.0622577... = 1/(8+sqrt(65)) = (sqrt(65)-8). Lim a(n+1)/a(n) as n approaches infinity = 16.0622577... = (8+sqrt(65)) = 1/(sqrt(65)-8).

FORMULA

a(n) =16a(n-1) + a(n-2), starting with a(0) = 2 and a(1) = 16. a(n) = (8+sqrt(65))^n + (8-sqrt(65))^n. (a(n))^2 =a(2n)-2 if n=1, 3, 5..., (a(n))^2 =a(2n)+2 if n=2, 4, 6....

G.f.: (2-16x)/(1-16x-x^2). [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 02 2008]

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 66562 = 16a(3) + a(2) = 16*4144+ 258 = (8+sqrt(65))^4 + (8-sqrt(65))^4 =66561.99998497 + 0.00001502 = 66562.
