COMMENTS

The n-th rectangle is F(n)*F(n+1), where F(n) = n-th Fibonacci number (F(1)=1, F(2)=1, F(3)=2, etc.), A000045.

If 2*T(a_n) = the oblong number formed by substituting a(n) in the product formula x(x+1), then 2*T(a_n) = F(n-1)*F(n) * F(n)*F(n+1). Thus a(n) equals the integer part of the square root of the right hand side of the given equation. - Kenneth J Ramsey, Dec 19 2006

The a(n) represent several triangle sums of the Golden Triangle A180662: Kn11 (terms doubled), Kn12(n+1) (terms doubled), Kn4, Ca1 (terms tripled), Ca4, Gi1 (terms quadrupled) and Gi4. See A180662 for the definitions of these sums.

Define a 2 X (n+1) matrix with elements T(r,0)=A000032(r) and T(r,1) = Fibonacci(r), r=0,1,..,n. The matrix times its transposed is a 2 X 2 matrix with one diagonal element A001654(n+1), the other A216243(n), and A027941(n+1) on both outer diagonals. The determinant of this 2 X 2 matrix is 4*a(n). Example: For n=3 the matrix is 2 X 4 with rows 2 1 3 4; 0 1 1 2 to give as a product the 2 X 2 matrix with rows 30 12; 12 6 and determinant 180-144 = 36 =4*a(3). - J. M. Bergot, Feb 13 2013

FORMULA

a(n)=F(n+1)^2 - 1 if n is even, or F(n+1)^2 if n is odd.

a(n) = A005313(n+1) - n.

G.f.: x/((1-x^2)*(1-3*x+x^2)). - N. J. A. Sloane Jul 15 2002

a(n)=sum{k=0..floor(n/2), U(n-2k-1, 3/2)} - Paul Barry, Nov 15 2003

Let M_n denote the n X n Hankel matrix M_n(i, j)=F(i+j-1) where F(n)=A000045(n) is Fibonacci numbers, then the characteristic polynomial of M_n is x^n - F(2n)x^(n-1) + a(n-1)x^(n-2) . - Michael Somos, Nov 14 2002
