COMMENTS

The values (a(n),x(n)), n >= 2, x(n)=fibonacci(2*n+2)*fibonacci(2*n+3), are the integer solutions (a,x) of the equation binomial(x+1,a+1) + binomial(x+2,a+1)= binomial(x+3,a+1) - Klaus Strassburger (strass(AT)ddfi.uni-duesseldorf.de)

FORMULA

a(n) = fibonacci(2*n) * fibonacci(2*n+3).

a(n) = fibonacci(2*n+2)^2 - fibonacci(2*n+1)^2. [From Gary Detlefs, Oct 12 2011]

a(n) = A033888(n) - 1.

a(n) = 8*a(n-1) -8*a(n-2) +a(n-3). - Orlovsky - Librandi, Jan 22 2012

MAPLE

A003482:=z*(-5+z)/(z-1)/(z**2-7*z+1); [Conjectured by S. Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation.]
