COMMENT

a(n) == 1 mod 9.

a(n)/a(n-1) tends to 4.54138126... = (3 + sqrt(37))/2

FORMULA

a(1) = 1, a(2) = 10, a(n), n>2 = 3*a(n-1) + 7*a(n-2). a(n) = upper left term in [1,3; 3,2]^n

O.g.f.: x*(1+7*x)/(1-3*x-7*x^2) . a(n)=A015524(n)+7*A015524(n-1). - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Mar 17 2008

a(n)=-17/74*(3/2-1/2*sqrt(37))^n*sqrt(37)+1/2*(3/2-1/2*sqrt(37))^n+17/74*sqrt(37)*(3 /2+1/2*sqrt(37))^n+1/2*(3/2+1/2*sqrt(37))^n, with n>=0 - Paolo P. Lava (ppl(AT)spl.at), Jun 03 2008

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 181 = 3*a(3) + 7*a(2) = 3*37 + 7*10.

a(4) = 181 = upper left term in [1,3; 3,2]^4.
