Second order recurrence relation for third order polynomial root

This is sequence A244038 in OEIS after scaling by $3^n$, so $f_n=(4/3)^n\binom{3n/2}n$. The fact that it satisfies a cubic equation is certainly a well-known result in hypergeometric functions. EDIT: …

Solution of a 2D Recurrence sequence

By induction, it is immediate that $a_{m,n}\le 2\min(m,n)$. In addition, when $m$ is fixed and $n>m$ we have $a_{m,n}=2m-P_m(n)/2^n$, where $P_m(x)$ is a polynomial of degree $m$, so $2m$ is an expone …

Supremum of $ a_n = a_{n-1}^3 - a_{n-2} $

I encountered a similar problem with the iteration $u_n=\sqrt{u_{n-1}^2+1}-u_{n-2}$, where there is fundamentally a $9$-cycle in the shape of a maple leaf (replace the +1 by 0 to see this). I asked an …

On 12 cfracs: for Catalan's $K$, Gieseking's $\kappa$, and $\pi^2$, $\pi^3$, plus three for ...

We have $$C_2(-17,-6,-72)=-(5/8)L(\chi_{-3},2)$$ and $$C_2(10,3,-9)=(1/2)L(\chi_{-3},2)$$ so both are proportional to what you call Gieseking's constant but which is simply the value at 2 of the L …

On four Ramanujan-type "Legendrian" sequences with a 3-term recurrence?

Stupid of me. As O. Gorodetsky mentions, these are classical: $$F_1=(91\zeta(3)-2\pi^3\sqrt{3})/432$$ $$F_2=(28\zeta(3)-\pi^3)/64$$ $$F_3=(117\zeta(3)-2\pi^3\sqrt{3})/243$$ In addition, note that ther …
