COMMENTS
The Lucas cube Lambda(n) can be defined as the graph whose vertices are the binary strings of length n without either two consecutive 1's or a 1 in the first and in the last position, and in which two vertices are adjacent when their Hamming distance is exactly 1.
The forgotten topological index of a simple connected graph is the sum of the cubes of its vertex degrees.
In the Maple program T(n,k) gives the number of vertices of degree k in the Lucas cube Lambda(n).

FORMULA
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Apr 02 2019: (Start)
G.f.: 2*x^2*(5 - 5*x + 6*x^2 - 4*x^3 + 27*x^4 - 25*x^5 - 6*x^6 + 9*x^8 + 3*x^9) / (1 - x - x^2)^4.
a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-2) - 8*a(n-3) + 5*a(n-4) + 8*a(n-5) - 2*a(n-6) - 4*a(n-7) - a(n-8) for n>11.
(End)
EXAMPLE
a(2) = 10 because the Lucas cube Lambda(2) is the path tree P_3 having 2 vertices of degree 1 and 1 vertex of degree 2; consequently, the forgotten index is 1^3 + 1^3 + 2^3 = 10.
MAPLE
G:=(1+(1-t)*z + t^2*z^2 + (1-t)*t*z^3 - t*(1-t)^2*z^4)/((1-t*z)*(1-t*z^2)-t*z^3): M:=expand(series(G, z=0, 40)): T:=(n, k)->coeff(coeff(M, z, n), t, k): FI:=n->add(T(n, k)*k^3, k=0..n): seq(FI(n), n=1..30);
