J. A. Sloane_, Aug 05 2016: (Start) %C A010925 Different from A019992. The two sequences differ from n=26 on (A010925(26) = 70795240417122019 != 70795240417122020 = A019992(26)). %C A010925 From Boyd's paper "Linear recurrence relations for some generalized Pisot sequences", T(5,21) satisfies the rational generating function F(x)/(1+x-x*F(x)), with F(x) = 5 + x - x^2 - x^4 - x^26 - x^2048, a 2049th-order recurrence; and not the A019992 generating function: F(x)/(1+x-x*F(x)), with F(x) = 5 + x - x^2 - x^4, which gives the 5th-order recurrence for A019992. %C A010925 The g.f. F(x)/(1+x-x*F(x)) with F(x) = 5 + x - x^2 - x^4 - x^26 - x^2048 is not in lowest terms, however, and a factor of 1+x can be canceled. The lowest-order recurrence satisfied by this sequence has order 2048. %C A010925 This and other examples show that it is essential to reject conjectured generating functions for Pisot sequences until a proof or reference is provided.
