Short remark on the shifted Narayana's cows sequence The logic of the shifted Narayana's cow sentences is similar to the other Fiboiacci-like ones. The meaning of 'shifted sequences' considered to be know - as well as the Fibonacci-like sequences. Thus we just summarize these results. A000930 Narayana's cows sequence RESULTS (constants of shifted sequences): degree constant (c) a b 1 1.4655712318771392 x^3 - 1 x^2 - 1 (aka Supergolden Ratio = c1) 2 3.147899035705882 x^3 - 4 x^2 + 3 x - 1 3 4.613470267583021 x^3 - 5 x^2 + 2 x - 1 4 6.761369303288903 x^3 - 6 x^2 - 5 x - 1 5 9.909268338994785 x^3 - 10 x^2 + 1 x - 1 6 14.522738606577805 x^3 - 15 x^2 + 7 x - 1 7 21.28410790986671 x^3 - 21 x^2 - 6 x - 1 8 31.193376248861494 x^3 - 31 x^2 - 6 x - 1 9 45.7161148554393 x^3 - 46 x^2 + 13 x - 1 10 67.000222765306 ^3 - 67 x^2 + 0 x - 1 11 98.1935990141675 x^3 - 98 x^2 - 19 x - 1 12 143.9097138696068 x^3 - 144 x^2 + 13 x - 1 13 210.9099366349128 x^3 - 211 x^2 + 19 x - 1 Notice that the value of the constant with degree 2 = c1^2; with degree 3 = c1^3; with degree n = c1^n ... Generating rule from degree 2: x^3 + a*x^2 + b*x - 1 where a = items of A001609 b = items of A112455 * n form the 4th item (because of the shifting) of the A112455 sequence where n = +1 if the degree is even n = -1 if the degree is odd Zoltan Galantai Sept. 29. 2019
