FORMULA
G.f.: x*(1-2x+2x^2)/(1-3x+x^2)^2.
a(n) = 6*a(n-1)-11*a(n-2)+6*a(n-3)-a(n-4).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} C(n,k)*k*F(k).
From Benoit Cloitre, Nov 29 2006: (Start)
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} F(2k)*B(2n-2k)*binomial(2n,2k) where F=Fibonacci numbers and B=Bernoulli numbers;
a(n) = n*F(2n-1). (End)
a(n) = (2^(-1-n)*(-(-5+sqrt(5))*(3+sqrt(5))^n + (3-sqrt(5))^n*(5+sqrt(5)))*n) / 5. - Colin Barker, Feb 26 2017
a(n) = (1/sqrt(5)) * n * (((1 + sqrt(5)) / 2)^(2*n-1) - ((1 - sqrt(5)) / 2)^(2*n-1)). - Harry Richman, Jul 31 2023
a(n) = round((1/sqrt(5)) * n * phi^(2n-1)), where phi = (1+sqrt(5))/2 is the golden ratio A001622. - Harry Richman, Jul 31 2023
