COMMENTS
Continued fraction expansion of 4+sqrt(17) is A010731.
This is the shape of an 8-extension rectangle; see A188640 for definitions. - Clark Kimberling, Apr 09 2011
FORMULA
a(n) = A010473(n) for n > 1.
Equals exp(arcsinh(4)), since arcsinh(x)=log(x+sqrt(x^2+1)). - Stanislav Sykora, Nov 01 2013
Equals lim_{n->infinity} S(n, 2*sqrt(17))/S(n-1, 2*sqrt(17)), with the S-Chebyshev polynomials (see A049310). - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 15 2023
EXAMPLE
