%N Fibonacci sequence with initial values a(0) = 3 and a(1) = 1.

%C The old name was: The Pibonacci numbers (a Fibonacci-type sequence): each term is the sum of the two previous terms.

%C The 6th row in the Wythoff array begins with the 6th term of the sequence (14, 23, 37, 60, 97, 157, ...). a(n) = f(n-3) + f(n+2) for the Fibonacci numbers f(n) = f(n-1) + f(n-2); f(0) = 0, f(1) = 1.

%C (a(2*k), a(2*k+1)) give for k >= 0 the proper positive solutions of one of two families (or classes) of solutions (x, y) of the indefinite binary quadratic form x^2 + x*y - y^2 of discriminant 5 representing 11. The other family of such solutions is given by (x2, y2) = (b(2*k), b(2*k+1)) with b = A013655. See the formula in terms of Chebyshev S polynomials S(n, 3) = A001906(n+1) below, which follows from the fundamental solution (3, 1) by applying positive powers of the automorphic matrix given in a comment in A013655. See also A089270 with the Alfred Brousseau link with D = 11. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, May 28 2019
