COMMENT

A sequence generated from a rotated Stirling number of the second kind matrix, companion to A095125.

a(n)/a(n-1) tends to 2.9122291784...an eigenvalue of M and a root of the characteristic polynomial x^3 - 2x^2 - 3x + 1. A095127 is generated from the same polynomial, with the reversal x^3 - 3x^2 - 2x + 1 being the characteristic polynomial of A095128.

FORMULA

Let M = a rotated Stirling number of the second kind matrix [1 1 1 / 3 1 0 / 1 0 0] (a rotation of [1 0 0 / 1 1 0 / 1 3 1]. Then M^n * [1 1 1] = [A095125(n+1), a(n), A095125(n)].

EXAMPLE

a(6) = 922 = 2*316 + 3*109 - 37 = 2*a(5) + 3*a(4) - a(3).

a(5) = 316 since M^5 * [1 1 1] = [202 316 69] = [A095125(6), a(n), A095125(5)]
