The integer sequence defined by the recurrence relation
(1) |
with the initial conditions . This is the same recurrence relation as for the Perrin sequence, but with different initial conditions.
The recurrence relation can be solved explicitly, giving
(2) |
where is the th root of
(3) |
Another form of the solution is
(4) |
where is the th root of
(5) |
The first few terms are 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 12, ... (OEIS A000931).
The first few prime Padovan numbers are 2, 2, 3, 5, 7, 37, 151, 3329, 23833, ... (OEIS A100891), corresponding to indices ,3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 14, 19, 30, 37, 84, 128, 469, 666, 1262, 1573, 2003, 2210, 2289, 4163, 5553, 6567, 8561, 11230, 18737, 35834, 44259, 536485, ... (OEIS A112882). The search for prime numerators has been completed up to by E. W. Weisstein (Apr. 10, 2011), and the following table summarizes the largest known values.
