COMMENTS
Continued fraction expansion of (7+sqrt(53))/2 is A010727.
This is the shape of a 7-extension rectangle; see A188640 for definitions. [From Clark Kimberling, Apr 09 2011]
c^n = c * A054413(n-1) + A054413(n-2), where c = (7+sqrt(53))/2. - Gary W. Adamson, Apr 14 2024
FORMULA
Equals lim_{n->oo} S(n, sqrt(53))/S(n-1, sqrt(53)), with the S-Chebyshev polynomials (see A049310). - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 15 2023
Positive solution of x^2 - 7*x - 1 = 0. - Hugo Pfoertner, Apr 14 2024
