The upper intermediate convergents to 2^(1/2) beginning with 10/7, 58/41, 338/239, 1970/1393 form a strictly decreasing sequence; essentially, numerators=A075870, denominators=A002315. - Clark Kimberling, Aug 27 2008
General recurrence is a(n) = (a(1)-1)*a(n-1) - a(n-2), a(1) >= 4, lim_{n->oo} a(n) = x*(k*x+1)^n, k = (a(1)-3), x = (1+sqrt((a(1)+1)/(a(1)-3)))/2. Examples in OEIS: a(1)=4 gives A002878. a(1)=5 gives A001834. a(1)=6 gives A030221. a(1)=7 gives A002315. a(1)=8 gives A033890. a(1)=9 gives A057080. a(1)=10 gives A057081. - Ctibor O.

Remark: x^2 - 2*y^2 = +2*k^2, with positive k, and X^2 - 2*Y^2 = +2 reduce to the present Pell equation a^2 - 2*b^2 = -1 with x = k*X = 2*k*b and y = k*Y = k*a. (After a proposed solution for k = 3 by Alexander Samokrutov.) - Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 21 2015

a(n)^2 + 1 = 2*b(n)^2, with b(n) = A001653(n), is the necessary and sufficient condition for a(n) to be a number k for which the diagonal of a 1 X k rectangle is an integer multiple of the diagonal of a 1 X 1 square. If squares are laid out thus along one diagonal of a horizontal 1 X a(n) rectangle, from the lower left corner to the upper right, the number of squares is b(n), and there will always be a square whose top corner lies exactly within the top edge of the rectangle. Numbering the squares 1 to b(n) from left to right, the number of the one square that has a corner in the top edge of the rectangle is c(n) = (2*b(n) - a(n) + 1)/2, which is A055997(n). The horizontal component of the corner of the square in the edge of the rectangle is also an integer, namely d(n) = a(n) - b(n), which is A001542(n). - David Pasino, Jun 30 2016
(a(n)^2)-th triangular number is a square; a(n)^2 = A008843(n) is a subsequence of A001108. - Jaroslav Krizek, Aug 05 2016
a(n-1)/A001653(n) is the closest rational approximation of sqrt(2) with a numerator not larger than a(n-1). These rational approximations together with those obtained from the sequences A001541 and A001542 give a complete set of closest rational approximations of sqrt(2) with restricted numerator or denominator. a(n-1)/A001653(n) < sqrt(2). - A.H.M. Smeets, May 28 2017
Consider the quadrant of a circle with center (0,0) bounded by the positive x and y axes. Now consider, as the start of a series, the circle contained within this quadrant which kisses both axes and the outer bounding circle. Consider further a succession of circles, each kissing the x-axis, the outer bounding circle, and the previous circle in the series. See Holmes link. The center of the n-th circle in this series is ((A001653(n)*sqrt(2)-1)/a(n-1), (A001653(n)*sqrt(2)-1)/a(n-1)^2), the y-coordinate also being its radius. It follows that a(n-1) is the cotangent of the angle subtended at point (0,0) by the center of the n-th circle in the series with respect to the x-axis. - Graham Holmes, Aug 31 2019
There is a link between the two sequences present at the numerator and at the denominator of the fractions that give the coordinates of the center of the kissing circles. A001653 is the sequence of numbers k such that 2*k^2 - 1 is a square, and here, we have 2*A001653(n)^2 - 1 = a(n-1)^2. - Bernard Schott, Sep 02 2019
Let G be a sequence satisfying G(i) = 2*G(i-1) + G(i-2) for arbitrary integers i and without regard to the initial values of G. Then a(n) = (G(i+4*n+2) - G(i))/(2*G(i+2*n+1)) as long as G(i+2*n+1) != 0. - Klaus Purath, Mar 25 2021

3*a(n-1) is the n-th almost Lucas-cobalancing number of second type (see Tekcan and Erdem). - Stefano Spezia, Nov 26 2022
In Moret-Blanc (1881) on page 259 some solution of m^2 - 2n^2 = -1 are listed. The values of m give this sequence, and the values of n give A001653. - Michael Somos, Oct 25 2023
From Klaus Purath, May 11 2024: (Start)
For any two consecutive terms (a(n), a(n+1)) = (x,y): x^2 - 6xy + y^2 = 8 = A028884(1). In general, the following applies to all sequences (t) satisfying t(i) = 6t(i-1) - t(i-2) with t(0) = 1 and two consecutive terms (x,y): x^2 - 6xy + y^2 = A028884(t(1)-6). This includes and interprets the Feb 04 2014 comment on A001541 by Colin Barker as well as the Mar 17 2021 comment on A054489 by John O. Oladokun and the Sep 28 2008 formula on A038723 by Michael Somos. By analogy to this, for three consecutive terms (x,y,z) y^2 - xz = A028884(t(1)-6) always applies.
If (t) is a sequence satisfying t(k) = 7t(k-1) - 7t(k-2) + t(k-3) or t(k) = 6t(k-1) - t(k-2) without regard to initial values and including this sequence itself, then a(n) = (t(k+2n+1) - t(k))/(t(k+n+1) - t(k+n)) always applies, as long as t(k+n+1) - t(k+n) != 0 for integer k and n >= 0. (End)
