A091024 Let v(0) be the column vector (1,0,0,0)'; for n>0, let v(n) = [1 1 1 1 / 1 1 1 0 / 1 1 0 0/ 1 0 0 0] v(n-1). Sequence gives third entry of v(n). +0

COMMENT

First entry of v(n) gives 1,1,4,10,30,85 = A006357 prefixed with an initial 1, the second entry gives 0,1,3,9,26,... = A076264 prefixed with an initial 0.

A sequence derived from 9-gonal diagonal ratios.

a(n)/a(n-1) converges to D = 2.879385... = longest 9-Gon diagonal with edge = 1. E.g.a(7)/a(6) = 707/246 = 2.873983...(a(n)/a(n-1) of all 4 columns converge to 2.8739...). For each row, left to right, terms converge upon 9-Gon ratios: (2.879...):(2.53208...):(1.87938...):(1) Example: row 7 = 707 622 462 246, from A006357, A076264, A091024 and A006357(offset), respectively. The ratios 707/246, 622/246, 462/246 and 246/246 are: (2.8739...):(2.528...):(1.87804...):(1)
