%N Constant term of the reduction by x^2 -> x+1 of the polynomial p(n,x) defined below in Comments.

%C The polynomial p(n,x) is defined by ((x+d)^n + (x-d)^n)/2 + ((x+d)^n - (x-d)^n)/(2*d), where d = sqrt(x^2+4), as at A163762. For an introduction to reductions of polynomials by substitutions such as x^2 -> x+2, see A192232.

%F From _Colin Barker_, May 12 2014: (Start)

%F a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 10*a(n-2) - 6*a(n-3) - 9*a(n-4).

%F G.f.: (1-x-7*x^2-3*x^3)/(1-2*x-10*x^2+6*x^3+9*x^4). (End)

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)*Fibonacci(k-1), where T(n, k) = [x^k] ( ((x + sqrt(x+4))^n + (x - sqrt(x+4))^n)/2 + ((x + sqrt(x+4))^n - (x - sqrt(x+4))^n)/(2*sqrt(x+4)) ). - _G. C. Greubel_, Jul 13 2023

%e The first five polynomials p(n,x) and their reductions are as follows:

%e p(0,x) = 1 -> 1

%e p(1,x) = 1 + x -> 1 + x

%e p(2,x) = 4 + 3*x + x^2 -> 5 + 4*x

%e p(3,x) = 4 + 13*x + 6*x^2 + x^3 -> 11 + 21*x

%e p(4,x) = 16 + 24*x + 29*x^2 + 10*x^3 + x^4 -> 57 + 76*x.

%e From these, read a(n) = (1, 1, 5, 11, 57, 185, ...) and A192429 = (0, 1, 4, 21, 76, 329, ...).
