Comments

Here AGM(x,y) = AGM((x+y)/2,sqrt(x*y)) is the arithmetic-geometric mean.

a(n) == 2 (mod 4) for n>0.

Limit a(n+1)/a(n) = 3.

Formula

a(n) ~ Pi * 3^n / log(n) * (1 - (gamma + 4*log(2))/log(n) + (gamma^2 + 8*log(2)*gamma + 16*log(2)^2 - Pi^2/6) / log(n)^2), where gamma is the Euler-Mascheroni constant A001620. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Sep 30 2019

Example

G.f.: A(x) = 1 + 2*x + 6*x^2 + 18*x^3 + 46*x^4 + 146*x^5 + 398*x^6 +...
