Let M = the 3 X 3 matrix [ 0 1 0 / 0 0 1 / -1, 3*sqrt(3), 3]. M^n * [1 1 1] = [ p q r]; then a(n-1), a(n), a(n+1) = floor p, q, r, respectively. |

COMMENT
|
The matrix M is derived from a polynomial shown on p. 208 of "Advanced Trigonometry": sqrt(3)*x^3 - 3x^2 - 3*sqrt(3)*x + 1, which has roots tan 10 deg., tan 70 deg. and tan 130 deg. a(n)/a(n-1) tends to tan 70 deg. = 2.747477419...; e.g. a(11)/a(10) = 32975 / 12004 = 2.7470009...
