FORMULA

G.f.: (1+3*x)/(1-4*x-x^2). [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 03 2008]

a(n)=[ (1+sqrt(5))*(2+sqrt(5))^n + (1-sqrt(5))*(2-sqrt(5))^n ]/2.

a(n) = Lucas(3*n+1) - Thomas Baruchel (baruchel(AT)users.sourceforge.net), Nov 26 2003

From Gary Detlefs (gdetlefs(AT)aol.com), Mar 06 2011: (Start)

a(n)= Fibonacci(3*n+7) mod Fibonacci(3*n+3), n>0.

a(n)= Fibonacci(3*n+3)-Fibonacci(3*n-1). (End)

MAPLE

with(combinat): a:=n->3*fibonacci(n-1, 4)+fibonacci(n, 4): seq(a(n), n=1..16); - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 04 2008
