%N a(n) = Lucas(4n+2)+2, or 5*Fibonacci(2n+1)^2.
%C a(n) is the square of limit of (G(j+2n-1) + G(j-2n+1))/G(j) as j -> infinity, where G(n) is any sequence of the form G(n+1) = G(n) + G(n-1), with any starting values, including non-integer values. G(n) includes Lucas and Fibonacci. Compare with A005248 for even number offsets from j in any such G(n). - _Richard R. Forberg_, Nov 16 2014
%C a(n) = (t(i+6n+3) + t(i))/(t(i+4n+2) + t(i+2n+1)) + 3, where (t) is any sequence of the form t(n+2) = 2t(n+1) + 2t(n) - t(n-1) or of the form t(n+1) = 3t(n) - t(n-1) without regard to initial values as long as t(i+4n+2) + t(i+2n+1) != 0. - _Klaus Purath_, Jun 23 2024
