%N A084642 A Jacobsthal ratio.
%C A084642 The Jacobsthal recurrence means that A001045(n+1)/A001045(n) = 1 + 2/(A001045(n)/A001045(n-1)). The sequence of these fractions alternates after the first terms values just above 2 and just below 2, because the mapping x -> 1+2/x is concave in the neighborhood of x=2, where x=2 is an attractor. As a consequence, this sequence here iterates like A040001 or A000034 after a few terms. - _R. J. Mathar_, Sep 17 2008
