COMMENTS

A106729 is sum of two consecutive squares of Lucas numbers (A001254), for which L(n)^2 + L(n+1)^2 = 5*{F(n)^2 + F(n+1)^2} = 5*A001519(n). Sum of two consecutive squares of Lucas 3-step numbers can be expressed in terms of tribonacci numbers, but not quite as neatly, as derived from the identity A001644(n) = T(n) + 2*T(n-1) + 3*T(n-2) = 3*T(n+1) - 2*T(n) - T(n-1) where the tribonacci numbers T(n) = A000073(n).

FORMULA

a(n) = A001644(n)^2 + A001644(n+1)^2.

G.f.: (-10*x^5-2*x^4-36*x^3+8*x^2-10*x+10)/[(1+x+x^2-x^3)*(1-3*x-x^2+x^3)].

EXAMPLE

a(0) = A001644(0)^2 + A001644(1)^2 = 3^2 + 1^2 = 9 + 1 = 10.

a(1) = A001644(1)^2 + A001644(2)^2 = 1^2 + 3^2 = 1 + 9 = 10.

a(2) = A001644(2)^2 + A001644(3)^2 = 3^2 + 7^2 = 9 + 49 = 58.

a(3) = A001644(3)^2 + A001644(4)^2 = 7^2 + 11^2 = 49 + 121 = 170 = 13^2 + 1.
