Comments

From Johannes W. Meijer, Jun 12 2010: (Start)

The a(n) terms of this sequence can be constructed with the terms of sequence A090306.

For the terms of the periodical sequence of the continued fraction for sqrt(293) see A040275. We observe that its period is five. (End)

Formula

From Johannes W. Meijer, Jun 12 2010: (Start)

a(5n) = A090306(3n+1), a(5n+1) = (A090306(3n+2) - A090306(3n+1))/2, a(5n+2) = (A090306(3n+2) + A090306(3n+1))/2, a(5n+3) = A090306(3n+2) and a(5n+4) = A090306(3n+3)/2. (End)
