A069921 Define C(n) by the recursion C(0)=1+I where I^2=-1, C(n+1)=1/(1+C(n)); then a(n)=(-1)^n/Im(C(n)) where Im(z) is the imaginary part of the complex number z. 5

COMMENTS

C(n) = (F(n)+F(n-1)*C(0))/(F(n+1)+F(n)*C(0)) = (3*F(n)*F(n+1)+(-1)^n*(1+I))/(3*F(n)*F(n+2)+(-1)^n)

FORMULA

a(n) = 3 F(n) F(n+2) + (-1)^n, where F(n) = A000045(n) is the n-th Fibonacci number. Also, a(n)=ceiling(3/5*(g/2)^(n+1))-(1+(-1)^n)/2 with g=3+sqrt(5).

a(n) = 2*a(n-1)+2*a(n-2)-a(n-3). G.f.: (1+3*x-2*x^2)/(1-2*x-2*x^2+x^3). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), May 06 2002

a(n) = F(n)^2 + F(n+2)^2. - Ron Knott (enquiry(AT)ronknott.com), Aug 02 2004

Essentially the same sequence is produced by the rule a(n) = (A000045(n)^2+A000032(n)^2)/2. [From Roger L. Bagula (rlbagulatftn(AT)yahoo.com), Nov 17 2008]
