%N a(n) = (1/12)*(Fibonacci(2*n) + Fibonacci(4*n) + Fibonacci(6*n)).
%C This is a divisibility sequence, that is, if n divides m then a(n) divides a(m). The sequence satisfies a sixth-order linear recurrence. More generally, the sequence s(n) := Fibonacci(2*n) + Fibonacci(4*n) + ... + Fibonacci(2*k*n) is a divisibility sequence for k = 1,2,3,.... See A215466 for the case k = 2. Cf. A273623, A273624.
%C From _Peter Bala_, Aug 05 2019: (Start)
%C Let U(n;P,Q), where P and Q are integer parameters, denote the Lucas sequence of the first kind. Then, excluding the cases P = -1 and P = 0, the sequence ( U(n;P,1) + U(2*n;P,1) + U(3*n;P,1))/(P^2 + P) is a sixth-order linear divisibility sequence with o.g.f. x*(1 - 2*(P^2 - 2)*x + (3*P^3 - 3*P^2 - 8*P + 10)*x^2 - 2*(P^2 - 2)*x^3 + x^4)/((1 - P*x + x^2)*(1 - (P^2 - 2)*x + x^2)*(1 - P*(P^2 - 3)*x + x^2)). This is the case P = 3.
%C More generally, the sequence U(n;P,1) + U(2*n;P,1) + ... + U(k*n;P,1) is a linear divisibility sequence of order 2*k. See, for example, A215466 with P = 3, k = 2. (End)
