COMMENTS

For odd n there is the Aurifeuillian factorization a(n) = Lucas[5n] = Lucas[n]*A[n]*B[n] = A000032[n]*A124296[n]*A124297[n], where A[n] = A124296[n] = 5*F(n)^2 - 5*F(n) + 1 and B[n] = A124297[n] = 5*F(n)^2 + 5*F(n) + 1, where F(n) = Fibonacci[n]. The largest prime divisors of a(n) for n>0 are listed in A121171[n] = {11, 41, 31, 2161, 151, 2521, 911, ...}. - Alexander Adamchuk (alex(AT)kolmogorov.com), Oct 25 2006

FORMULA

a(n) = Lucas(5n) = Fibonacci(5n-1) + Fibonacci(5n+1). - Alexander Adamchuk (alex(AT)kolmogorov.com), Oct 25 2006

a(n) = ((11 + 5sqrt(5))/2)^n + ((11 - 5sqrt(5))/2)^n. - Tanya Khovanova (tanyakh(AT)yahoo.com), Feb 06 2007

Contribution from Johannes W. Meijer (meijgia(AT)hotmail.com), Jun 12 2010: (Start)

a(2n+1) = 11*A097842(n), a(2n) = A065705(n).

a(3n+1) = A041226(5n), a(3n+2) = A041226(5n+3), a(3n+3) = 2* A041226(5n+4).

Limit(a(n+k)/a(k), k=infinity) = (A001946(n) + A049666(n)*sqrt(125))/2.

Limit(A001946(n)/A049666(n), n=infinity) = sqrt(125).
