COMMENT

a(n+1)/a(n) converges to (19+sqrt(365))/2 = 19.052486... Lim a(n)/a(n+1) as n approaches infinity = 0.052486... = 2/(19+sqrt(365)) = (sqrt(365)-19)/2. Lim a(n+1)/a(n) as n approaches infinity = 19.052486... = (19+sqrt(365))/2 = 2/(sqrt(365)-19).

FORMULA

a(n) =19a(n-1) + a(n-2), starting with a(0) = 2 and a(1) = 19. a(n) = ((19+sqrt(365))/2)^n + ((19-sqrt(365))/2)^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.: (2-19x)/(1-19x-x^2). [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 02 2008]

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 131767 = 19a(3) + a(2) = 19*6916+ 363=((19+sqrt(365))/2)^4 + ((19-sqrt(365))/2)^4 = 131766.9999924108 + 0.0000075891 = 131767.
