COMMENT

a(n+1)/a(n) converges to (10+sqrt(101)) = 20.0498756... Lim a(n)/a(n+1) as n approaches infinity = 0.0498756... = 1/(10+sqrt(101)) = (sqrt(101)-10). Lim a(n+1)/a(n) as n approaches infinity = 20.0498756... = (10+sqrt(101)) = 1/(sqrt(101)-10).

FORMULA

a(n) =20a(n-1) + a(n-2), starting with a(0) = 2 and a(1) = 20. a(n) = (10+sqrt(101))^n + (10-sqrt(101))^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.: (2-20*x)/(1-20*x-x^2). [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 02 2008]

EXAMPLE

a(4) =161602 = 20a(3) + a(2) = 20*8060+ 402 = (10+sqrt(101))^4 + (10-sqrt(101))^4 =161601.999993811 + 0.000006188 = 161602.
