COMMENTS

The "metallic" constants A001622, A014176 etc. are defined inserting a = 1, 2, 3, 4, ... into (a+sqrt(a^2+4))/2. [Stakhov & Aranson] - R. J. Mathar, Feb 14 2011

This is the length/width ratio of a 5-extension rectangle; see A188640 where the metallic constants are defined for rational numbers. - Clark Kimberling, Apr 09 2011

FORMULA

5 plus the constant in A085551. - R. J. Mathar, Sep 02 2008

c^n = A052918(n-2) + A052918(n-1) * c, where c = (5 + sqrt(29))/2. - Gary W. Adamson, Oct 09 2023

Equals lim_{n->infinity} S(n, sqrt(29))/ S(n-1, sqrt(29)), with the S-Chebyshev polynomials (see A049310). - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 15 2023
