%N k=11 case of family of sequences beyond Fibonacci and Padovan.

%C k=11 case of the family of sequences whose k=1 case is the Fibonacci sequence A000045, k=2 case is the Padovan sequence A000931 (offset so as to begin 1,1,1), k=3 case is A079398 (offset so as to begin 1,1,1,1), k=4 case is A103372, k=5 case is A103373, k=6 case is A103374, k=7 case is A103375, k=8 case is A103376, k=9 case is A103377 and k=10 case is A103378.

%C The general case for integer k>1 is defined: a(1) = a(2) = ... = a(k+1)= 1 and for n>(k+1) a(n) = a(n-k) + a(n-[k+1]). For this k=11 case, the ratio of successive terms a(n)/a(n-1) approaches the unique positive root of the characteristic polynomial: x^12 - x - 1 = 0. This is the real constant 1.062169167864255148458944... Note that x = (1 + (1 + (1 + (1 + (1 + ...)^(1/12))^(1/12)))^(1/12))))^(1/12)))))^(1/12))))). The sequence of prime values in this k=11 case is A103389; the sequence of semiprime values in this k=11 case is A103399.
