%N Sum of squares of first n tetranacci numbers (A000288).

%C Tetranacci numbers are also called Fibonacci 4-step numbers. a(n) is prime for n = 2, 3, 8, 26, ... a(n) is semiprime for n = 4, 6, 11, 13, ... a(10) = 12100 = 94^2 + 3264 = 110^2 = 2^2 * 5^2 * 11^2. For Fibonacci numbers (A000045) F(i) we have Sum_{i=1..n} F(i) = F(n)*F(n+1).

%F From _R. J. Mathar_, Aug 11 2009: (Start)

%F a(n) = 3*a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) + 2*a(n-3) + 6*a(n-4) - 16*a(n-5) - 2*a(n-6) + 6*a(n-7) - 2*a(n-8) + 2*a(n-9) + a(n-10) - a(n-11).

%F G.f.: (1 - x - 5*x^2 - 11*x^3 - 8*x^4 - x^5 - x^6 - 7*x^7 + x^8 + 4*x^9)/((1 - x)*(1 - 3*x - 3*x^2 + x^3 + x^4)(1 + x + 2*x^2 + 2*x^3 - 2*x^4 + x^5 - x^6)). (End)

%e a(1) = 1^2 = 1.

%e a(2) = 1^2 + 1^2 = 1.

%e a(3) = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 = 3, prime.

%e a(4) = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 = 4 = 2^2, semiprime.

%e a(5) = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 4^2 = 20.

%e a(6) = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 4^2 + 7^2 = 69 = 3 * 23, semiprime.

%e a(8) = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 4^2 + 7^2 + 13^2 + 25^2 = 863, prime.
