%N a(0)=1, a(1)=3, a(n) = 7*a(n-1) - 9*a(n-2) for n > 1.

%C a(n)/a(n-1) tends to (7+sqrt(13))/2 = 5.30277563... = 2+A098316.

%C For n >= 2, a(n) equals 3^n times the permanent of the (2n-2) X (2n-2) matrix with 1/sqrt(3)'s along the main diagonal, and 1's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal. - _John M. Campbell_, Jul 08 2011
