FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} F(2k)^3.
a(n) = A163199(n) + 1.
a(n) = (1/20)*(F(6n+3) - 12*F(2n+1) + 10).
a(n) = (1/4)*(F(2n+1)^3 - 3*F(2n+1) + 2). (K. Subba Rao)
a(n) = (1/4)*F(n)^2*L(n+1)^2*F(n-1)*L(n+2) = A163195(n) if n is even.
a(n) = (1/4)*L(n)^2*F(n+1)^2*L(n-1)*F(n+2) = A163197(n) if n is odd.
a(n) - 21 a(n-1) + 56 a(n-2) - 21 a(n-3) + a(n-4) = 8.
a(n) - 22 a(n-1) + 77 a(n-2) - 77 a(n-3) + 22 a(n-4) - a(n-5) = 0.
G.f.: (x + 6*x^2 + x^3)/(1 - 22*x + 77*x^2 - 77*x^3 + 22*x^4 - x^5) = x*(1 + 6*x + x^2)/((1 - x)*(1 - 3*x + x^2 )*(1 - 18*x + x^2)).
a(n) = (F(2*n+1)-1)^2*(F(2*n+1) + 2)/4, n>=0. See the Melham reference for a general conjecture. - Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 10 2012
