COMMENT

A sequence generated from a rotated Stirling number of the second kind matrix.

a(n)/a(n-1) tends to the largest positive eigenvalue of the matrix, 2.9122291784... (a root of the characteristic polynomial x^3 - 2x^2 - 3x + 1); e.g. a(9)/a(8) = 4981/1711 = 2.91116... A095127 is generated from an inverse of M, while A095126 is generated from M.

FORMULA

M = [1 1 1 / 3 1 0 / 1 0 0], (a rotation of a Stirling number of the second kind matrix [1 0 0 / 1 1 0 / 1 3 1]; then M^n * [1 1 1] = [a(n+1), A095126(n) a(n)].

EXAMPLE

a(5) = 69 = 2*a(4) + 3*a(3) - a(2) = 2*24 + 3*8 - 3.

a(5) = 69 since M^5 * [1 1 1] = [202 316 69] = [a(6) A095126(a) a(5)].
