COMMENTS

Negated first differences of A007598.

Real part of (F(n-1) + i*F(n))^2. Corresponding imaginary part = A079472(n); e.g. (3 + 5i)^2 = (-16 + 30i) where 30 = A079472(5). Consider a(n) and A079472(n) as legs of a Pythagorean triangle. Then hypotenuse = corresponding n-th term in the sequence (1, 2, 5, 13...; i.e. odd indexed Fibonacci terms.) a(n)/a(n-1) tends to Phi^2.

3*A001654(n)-A001654(n+1)=A121646(n). [From Vladimir Orlovsky (4vladimir(AT)gmail.com), Nov 17 2009]

FORMULA

a(n) = Re (F(n-1) + F(n)*i)^2 = (F(n-1))^2 - (F(n))^2.

G.f.: (1-3*x)/((1+x)*(1-3*x+x^2)); - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Oct 13 2006

a(n)= -F(n+1)*F(n-2) where F=A000045 [From Ron Knott (enquiry(AT)ronknott.com), Jan 24 2009]

a(n) = (4*(-1)^n-|A098149(n)|)/5 . - R. J. Mathar, Jan 13 2011

EXAMPLE

a(5) = -16 since Re:(3 + 5i)^2 = (-16 + 30i).

a(5) = -16 = 3^2 - 5^2.
