COMMENTS
This is an odd divisibility sequence, that is, if n divides m and n/m is odd then a(n) divides a(m). More generally, if r and s are positive integers such that r = s (mod 2) then the sequence Fibonacci(r*n) + Fibonacci(s*n) is an odd divisibility sequence. In the particular case that r is even and s = r + 2 then Fibonacci(r*n) + Fibonacci(s*n) is, in fact, a divisibility sequence. See for example A215466 and A273624. - Peter Bala, May 29 2016
FORMULA
G.f.: x*(1-2*x-x^2) / ((x^2+4*x-1)*(x^2+x-1)). - R. J. Mathar, Oct 26 2015
a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-2) - 5*a(n-3) - a(n-4) for n>3. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jun 01 2016
a(n) = ((-(1/2*(1-sqrt(5)))^n-(2-sqrt(5))^n+(1/2*(1+sqrt(5)))^n+(2+sqrt(5))^n))/(3*sqrt(5)). - Colin Barker, Jun 02 2016
G.f.: G(F(t)), where G(t) is g.f. of A001045 and F(t) is g.f. of A000129. - Oboifeng Dira, Dec 07 2016
