FORMULA

a(n) = 8a(n-1)-8a(n-2)+a(n-3)

a(n)=(2/5)+(3/10)*{[(7/2)-(3/2)*sqrt(5)]^n+[(7/2)+(3/2)*sqrt(5)]^n}+(1/10)*sqrt(5)*{[(7/2) +(3/2)*sqrt(5)]^n-[(7/2)-(3/2)*sqrt(5)]^n}, with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Dec 01 2008]

MAPLE

luc := proc(n) option remember: if n=0 then RETURN(2) fi: if n=1 then RETURN(1) fi: luc(n-1)+luc(n-2): end: for n from 0 to 40 do printf(`%d, `, (luc(4*n+2)+2)/5) od:
