Limit_{n -> oo} b(n+1)/b(n) = 3+2*sqrt(2) for b = A155464, A155465, A155466.

Limit_{n -> oo} b(n)/b(n-1) = 3+2*sqrt(2) for b = A001652, A001653, A002315, A156156, A156157, A156158. - Klaus Brockhaus, Sep 23 2009

From Richard R. Forberg, Aug 14 2013: (Start)

Ratios b(n+1)/b(n) for all sequences of the form b(n) = 6*b(n-1) - b(n-2), for any initial values of b(0) and b(1), converge to this ratio.

Ratios b(n+1)/b(n) for all sequences of the form b(n) = 5*b(n-1) + 5*b(n-2) + b(n-3), for all b(0), b(1) and b(2) also converge to 3 + 2*sqrt(2). For example see A084158 (Pell Triangles).

Ratios of alternating values, b(n+2)/b(n), for all sequences of the form b(n) = 2*b(n-1) + b(n-2), also converge to 3 + 2*sqrt(2). These include A000129 (Pell Numbers). Also see A014176. (End)

Let ABCD be a square inscribed in a circle. When P is the midpoint of the arc AB, then the ratio (PC*PD)/(PA*PB) is equal to 3+2*sqrt(2). See the Mathematical Reflections link. - Michel Marcus, Jan 10 2017

Limit of ratios of successive terms of A001652 when n-> infinity. - Harvey P. Dale, Jun 16 2017; improved by Bernard Schott, Feb 28 2022
