%F Let F(n) be the Fibonacci number A000045(n).
%F a(n) = Sum_{k = 1..n} (-1)^k F(k)^2.
%F Closed form: a(n) = (-1)^n F(2n+1)/5 - (2 n + 1)/5.
%F Recurrence: a(n) + a(n-1) - 4 a(n-2) + a(n-3) + a(n-4) = 0.
%F G.f.: A(x) = (-x - x^2)/(1 + x - 4 x^2 + x^3 + x^4) = -x(1 + x)/((1 - x)^2 (1 + 3 x + x^2)).
