k=7 case of the family of sequences whose k=1 case is the Fibonacci sequence A000045, k=2 case is the Padovan sequence A000931 (offset so as to begin 1,1,1), k=3 case is A079398 (offset so as to begin 1,1,1,1), k=4 case is A103372, k=5 case is A103373 and k=6 case is A103374.
The general case for integer k>1 is defined: a(1) = a(2) = ... = a(k+1) and for n>(k+1) a(n) = a(n-k) + a(n-[k+1]).
For this k=7 case, the ratio of successive terms a(n)/a(n-1) approaches the unique positive root of the characteristic polynomial: x^8 - x - 1 = 0. This is the real constant 1.09698155779855981790827896716753708959253010821278671381232885124855898059....

Generalized Fibonacci growth sequence using i = 2 as maturity period, j = 5 as conception period, and k = 2 as growth factor.

Maturity period is the number of periods that a Fibonacci tree node needs for being able to start developing branches. Conception period is the number of periods in a Fibonacci tree node needed to develop new branches since its maturity. Growth factor is the number of additional branches developed by a Fibonacci tree node, plus 1, and equals the base of the exponential series related to the given tree if maturity factor would be zero. Standard Fibonacci would use 1 as maturity period, 1 as conception period, and 2 as growth factor as the series becomes equal to 2^n with a maturity period of 0. Related to Lucas sequences.
