%N Expansion of x/(1 - 4*x - 3*x^2).

%C Let b(1)=1, b(k) = floor(b(k-1)) + 3/b(k-1); then for n>1, b(n) = a(n)/a(n-1). - _Benoit Cloitre_, Sep 09 2002

%C In general, x/(1 - a*x - b*x^2) has a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor((n-1)/2)} C(n-k-1,k)*b^k*a^(n-2k-1). - _Paul Barry_, Apr 23 2005

%F a(n) = (A086901(n+2) - A086901(n+1))/6. - _Ralf Stephan_, Feb 01 2004

%F From _Johannes W. Meijer_, Aug 01 2010: (Start)

%F Limit(a(n+k)/a(k), k=infinity) = A108851(n)+a(n)*sqrt(7).

%F Limit(A108851(n)/a(n), n=infinity) = sqrt(7). (End)

%F G.f.: G(0)*x/(2-4*x), where G(k)= 1 + 1/(1 - x*(7*k-4)/(x*(7*k+3) - 2/G(k+1))); (continued fraction). - _Sergei N. Gladkovskii_, Jun 16 2013
