%C A064268 In general, suppose a(n)*a(n-7) = c1*a(n-1)*a(n-6) + c2*a(n-3)*a(n-4) for all n and constants c1,c2. Define u(n) = a(n)*a(n+5)/(a(n+2)*a(n+3)) which satisfies the generalized Lyness recursion u(n) = (c1*u(n-1) + c2)/u(n-2) for all n. For this sequence c1=1, c2=2, u(n) is (1, 1, 3, 5, 7/3, 13/15, 43/35, ...) and satisfies u(n) = (u(n-1) + 2)/u(n-2). See A076839 for Lyness references. - _Michael Somos_, Sep 26 2022
