%F a(n) = A000032(n)^2.

%F G.f.: ( 4-7*x-x^2 ) / ( (1+x)*(x^2-3*x+1) ). - _Len Smiley_, Nov 30 2001

%F From _Ralf Stephan_, Feb 08 2003: (Start)

%F a(n) = r^n + (1/r)^n + 2*(-1)^n, with r=(3+sqrt(5))/2.

%F a(n+3) = 2*a(n+2) + 2*a(n+1) - a(n). (End)

%F a(n) = L(2*n) + 2*(-1)^n = L(n-1)*L(n+1) + 5(-1)^n.

%F a(n) = 5*Fibonacci(n)^2 + 4*(-1)^n.

%F a(n) + a(n+1) = A106729(n). - _R. J. Mathar_, Nov 17 2011

%F E.g.f.: 2*exp(-x)*(exp(5*x/2)*cosh(sqrt(5)*x/2)+1). - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jan 14 2012

%F a(n) = 1/4*( a(n-2) - a(n-1) - a(n+1) + a(n+2) ). The same recurrence holds for A007598. - _Peter Bala_, Aug 18 2015

%F For n>1, a(n)=(10*F(2*n-1) + 2*L(n-2)*L(n+1))/4 where F(n)=A000045(n), L(n)=A000204(n). - _J. M. Bergot_, Nov 25 2015

%F a(n) = (L(n-2)*L(n+2) + L(n-1)*L(n+1))/2 with L(k)=A000032(k). - _J. M. Bergot_, May 25 2017

%F From _Peter Bala_, Nov 13 2019: (Start)

%F Sum_{n >= 1} 1/a(n) = (1/8)*( theta_3(beta)^4 - 1 ) = A105394, where beta = (3 - sqrt(5))/2 and theta_3(q) = 1 + 2*Sum_{n >= 1} q^(n^2) is a theta function. See Borwein and Borwein, Exercise 7(f), p. 97.

%F Sum_{n >= 1} 1/(a(n) - 5) = (3 - sqrt(5))/6; Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^n/(a(n) - 5) = (15 - sqrt(5))/30; Sum_{n >= 1} 1/(a(2*n) - 5) = (5 - sqrt(5))/10.

%F Sum_{n >= 1} 1/(a(n) - 25/a(n)) = 2/9.

%F Conjecture: Sum_{n >= 1} 1/(a(n) - 5*(-1)^n*F(2*k+1)^2) = 1/(2*a(2*k+1)) for k = 0,1,2,.... (End)

%F a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - a(n-2) + 10*(-1)^n. - _Greg Dresden_, May 18 2020
