COMMENTS
a(n) is the length of the short side (rounded down) of the parallelogram appearing in the dissection fallacy using the square F(n+3) X F(n+3) (see the links and references). Let the actual length of the short side be L(n) and the one of the long side LL(n), then L(n) = LL(n-1). See the Ngaokrajang link for an illustration. Also floor(LL(n)*L(n)) = A014742(n), n >= 1 (proof by Wolfdieter Lang given there).
Note that F(n+2)^2 + F(n)^2 = 3*F(n+1)^2 - 2*(-1)^n = A069921(n). It appears that for n > 1, a(n) = floor(sqrt(3)*F(n+1)). - Robert Israel, Jul 16 2014
