A112259 Let p = the golden mean = (1+5^0.5)/2. A point in 3-space is identified by three numbers t = (a,b,c). f(t) is the product a*b*c. Let t = (-1/p,1,p): using the rules of 'triternion' multiplication, e.g., (1,2,3)*(1,2,3)= 1,2,3 + 6,2,4 + 6,9,3 = (13,13,10), then -f(t^n) gives the sequence. +0

COMMENT

Numbers in the sequence are alternatively products of squares or five times a product of squares.

If f(t) is the sum of a+b+c then a(n)=2^(n+1). - Robert G. Wilson v May 16 2006.

FORMULA

t = (-1/p, 1, p). f(t) is the product 1/p*1*p. For t1 = (a, b, c) and t2 = (x, y, z), t1 - t2 = a(x, y, z) + b(z, x, y) + c(y, z, x) = (ax+bz+cy, ay+bx+cz, az+by+cx). -f(t^n) = the sequence.

EXAMPLE

t = (-0.618...,1,1.618...); t^2 = (3.618...,1.381...,-1). Hence -f(t^2) = 5

MATHEMATICA

s = {-1/GoldenRatio, 1, GoldenRatio}; trit[lst_] := Block[{a, b, c, d, e, f}, {a, b, c} = lst[[1]]; {d, e, f} = lst[[2]]; {{a, b, c}, FullSimplify[{a*d + b*f + c*e, a*e + b*d + c*f, a*f + b*e + c*d}]}]; f[n_] := FullSimplify[ -Times @@ Nest[trit, {s, s}, n][[2]]]; Table[ f[n], {n, 0, 20}] - Robert G.
