FORMULA

a(0)=2, a(1)=0, a(n)=a(n-1)+a(n-2)for n>1 . G.f. (2-2*x)/(1-x-x^2) . a(0)=2 and a(n)= 2*A000045(n-1) for n>0 . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Sep 20 2006

a(n)=F(n)+F(n+3) n>=-3 {where F(n) is the n-th Fibonacci number} - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Jan 31 2008

Closed form. a(n)=[(1/2)+(1/2)*sqrt(5)]^n-(1/5*[(1/2)+(1/2)*sqrt(5)]^n*sqrt(5)+(1/5)*sqrt(5)*[(1/2)-(1/2) *sqrt(5)]^n+[(1/2)-(1/2)*sqrt(5)]^n, with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Nov 19 2008]

EXAMPLE

L_7 = 18, F_7 = 8, L_7 - F_7 = 10
