Comments

Here Lucas is: Lucas(1)=1, Lucas(2)=3 and, for n>2, Lucas(n) = Lucas(n-1) + Lucas(n-2). See A000032.

a(n) is prime for n = 1, 4, 9, 10, 16, 21, 22, 28, 33, 34, 40, 46, 52, 58, 64, 70, 76, 81, 82, 88, 93, 94, ... - Vincenzo Librandi, Dec 24 2015

Example

a(15) = 21 = 3*7 since F(15) - 1 = 3*7*29 and L(15) + 1 = 3*5*7*13.
