a(n) / a(n-1) converges to sqrt(5) + 1 as n approaches infinity. sqrt(5) + 1 can also be written as Phi^3 - 1, 2 * Phi, Phi^2 + Phi - 1 and (L(n) / F(n)) + 1, where L(n) is the n-th Lucas number and F(n) is the n-th Fibonacci number as n approaches infinity.
The signed version 0, 1, -2, ... has a(n)=sqrt(5)((sqrt(5)-1)^n-(-sqrt(5)-1)^n)/10. It is the second inverse binomial transform of A085449. - Paul Barry, Aug 25 2003
