COMMENT

a(n)/a(n-1) tends to 3.1149075414...an eigenvalue of the matrix M and a root of the characteristic polynomial x^3 - 3x^2 - x + 2.

FORMULA

Recurrence: a(0) = 1, a(1) = 3, a(2) = 10; a(n) = 3*a(n-1) + a(n-2) - 2*a(n-3).

Given Hosoya's triangle: 1; 1, 1; 2, 1, 2; considered as an upper triangular 3 X 3 matrix M: [2 1 2 / 1 1 0 / 1 0 0]; a(n) = center term in M^n * [1 0 0].

EXAMPLE

a(5) = 97, center term in M^5 * [1 0 0]: [205 97 66].
