%C The values (a(n),x(n)), n >= 2, x(n)=Fibonacci(2*n+2)*Fibonacci(2*n+3)=A081018(n+1), are the integer solutions (a,x) of the equation binomial(x+1,a+1) + binomial(x+2,a+1) = binomial(x+3,a+1). - Klaus Strassburger (strass(AT)ddfi.uni-duesseldorf.de)

%C The values (a(n),x(n)), n >= 2 are also the integer solutions (a, x) of the equation x(a+1) = (x-a)(x-a-1) or, equivalently, binomial(x, a) = binomial(x-1, a+1). - _Tomohiro Yamada_, May 30 2018
