FORMULA
| Let F(n) be the Fibonacci number A000045(n).
a(n) = sum_{k=1..n} (-1)^k F(k)^3
Closed form: a(n) = (-1)^n F(3n+1)/10 - 3 F(n+2)/5 + 1/2
Recurrence: a(n) + 2 a(n-1) - 9 a(n-2) + 3 a(n-3) + 4 a(n-4) - a(n-5) = 0
G.f.: A(x) = (-x - 2 x^2 + x^3)/(1 + 2 x - 9 x^2 + 3 x^3 + 4 x^4 - x^5) = x(-1 - 2 x + x^2)/((1 - x)(1 - x - x^2 )(1 + 4 x - x^2))
