COMMENT
|
Rightmost digit of each term forms a cycle with period 4: 1, 3, 9, 7,...(repeat)...
a(n)/a(n-1) tends to (4 + sqrt(11)) = 7.31662479...

FORMULA
|
a(n) = 8*a(n-1) - 5*a(n-2), n> 2; given a(1) = 1, a(2) = 3. a(n) = upper left term of the 2 X 2 matrix [1,2; 1,7]^n * [1,0].
O.g.f.: -x*(-1+5*x)/(1-8*x+5*x^2). - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Apr 12 2008
a(n)=[(3sqrt(11)/22+1/2][4-sqrt(11)]^n + [(-3sqrt(11)/22+1/2][4+sqrt(11)]^n - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Apr 02 2008

EXAMPLE
|
a(5) = 1001 = 8*a(4) - 5*a(3) = 8*137 - 5*19.
a(5) = 1001 = upper left term in [1,2; 1,7]^5.
