COMMENTS

a(n) is also a sequence with the property that the difference between the sum and product of two consecutive terms is equal to the square of the difference between those terms, i.e. a(n)*a(n+1) - (a(n)+ a(n+1)) = (a(n) - a(n + 1))^2. The difference between those two terms, a(n + 1) - a(n) = F(2n -2), the (2n - 2)th Fibonacci number. [From John Baker (john(AT)naturalmaths.com.au), May 18 2010]
