Each pair of terms {odd=x, even=y} gives a solution to the Pell equation x^2 - 2y^2 = 1. Note that odd/even terms also have odd/even indices. The ratio a(2k-1)/a(2k) tends to sqrt(2). Interrelations between odd and even terms: a(2k+1) = 3a(2k-1) + 4a(2k); e.g., 99 = 3*17 + 4*12, 577 = 3*99 + 4*70; a(2k) = 3a(2k-2) + 2a(2k-3), e.g., 70 = 3*12 + 2*17, 408 = 3*70 + 2*99. Odd terms = A001541, even terms = 2*A001109.
