%N Eigensequence of triangle A168258.

%C Eigensequence of triangle A168258, derived from the following operation: Shift down triangle A168258, so that rows begin [1; 1; 1,1; 2,2,1; ...] = triangle M. Then take lim_{n->oo} M^n, resulting in a left-shifted vector. Delete the first 1, getting (1, 2, 6, 14, 38, 96, ...) = this sequence.

%C a(n)/a(n-1) apparently tends to phi^2=A104457. a(19)/a(18) = 2.618104...
