FORMULA

a(n) = round( (12*phi-6)/5 * phi^n)  for n>3 - Thomas Baruchel, Sep 08 2004

a(n) = 6F(n) = F(n+3) + F(n+1) + F(n-4), n>3.

a(n) = A119457(n+4,n-1) for n>1. - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), May 20 2006

G.f.: 6*x/(1-x-x^2). [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 20 2008]
