COMMENTS

This sequence is defined by analogy with the sequence of second-order Fibonacci numbers A010049.

LINKS

Index to sequences with linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (2,1,-2,-1).

FORMULA

Defining equation a(n) := (2n+3)*Lucas(n) - n*Lucas(n-1).

Recurrence: a(0) = 6, a(1) = 3, a(n+2) = a(n+1) + a(n) + 5*Lucas(n).

O.g.f.: (2-x)*(3-3x+2x^2)/(1-x-x^2)^2.

Set A(n) = (a(n-1) + a(n+1))/5, B(n) = a(n+1) - a(n-1). Then A(n+2) = A(n+1) + A(n) + 5*Fibonacci(n) and B(n+2) = B(n+1) + B(n) + 5*Lucas(n). The polynomials L_2(n,-x) = sum {k = 0..n} C(n,k)*a(n-k)*(-x)^k appear to satisfy a Riemann hypothesis; their zeros appear to lie on the vertical line Re x = 1/2 in the complex plane. Compare with the polynomials L(n,-x) defined in A132148.
