Do you want to calculate all the values from 1 to n? or just for specific large n values?
It looks like you got this from the formula a_n = 2*(a_(n-1)+a_(n-2)).
If you want all values from 1 to n that'l take at least O(n) anyway so then use the recurrence

But it's fast enough, since it's exponiental, it will only be calculted in log(n). Or is the problem of float relative error, if yes can you provide the equation that have this number as solution?
