Lim_{n-> infinity} a(n)/a(n+1) = 0.066372... = 2/(15+sqrt(229)) = (sqrt(229)-15)/2.
Lim_{n-> infinity} a(n+1)/a(n) = 15.066372... = (15+sqrt(229))/2 = 2/(sqrt(229)-15).

FORMULA
a(n) = 15*a(n-1) + a(n-2), starting with a(0) = 2 and a(1) = 15.
a(n) = ((15+sqrt(229))/2)^n + ((15-sqrt(229))/2)^n.
(a(n))^2 = a(2n) - 2 if n=1, 3, 5...
(a(n))^2 = a(2n) + 2 if n=2, 4, 6...
G.f.: (2-15*x)/(1-15*x-x^2). - Philippe Deléham, Nov 02 2008

a(n) = Lucas(n, 15) = 2*(-i)^n * ChebyshevT(n, 15*i/2). - G. C. Greubel, Dec 31 2019

EXAMPLE
a(4) = 15*a(3) + a(2) = 15*3420 + 227 = ((15+sqrt(229))/2)^4 + ((15-sqrt(229))/2)^4 = 51526.9999805 + 0.0000194 = 51527.
