a(n) = the area of an irregular quadrilateral with vertices at the points (L(n),L(n+2)), (F(n+2),F(n+3)), (F(n+3),F(n+2)) and (L(n+2),L(n)), with F(n)=A000045(n) and L(n)=A000032(n). - J. M. Bergot, Jun 16 2014
a(n+1) appears also as the fourth component of the square of [F(n), F(n+1), F(n+2), F(n+3)], for n >= 0, where F(n) = A000045(n), in the Clifford algebra Cl_2 over Euclidean 2-space. The whole quartet of sequences for this square is [-A248161(n), A079472(n+1), A059929(n), a(n+1)]. See the Oct 15 2014 comment in A147973 where also a reference is given. - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 01 2014

FORMULA
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) - a(n-3).
a(n) = -2*A121646(n+1).
G.f.: 2*x^2*(3-x)/((1+x)*(x^2-3*x+1)) (see name).
From Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 01 2014: (Start)
G.f.: (-10 + 8/(1+x) + 2*(1+x)/(1-3*x+x^2))/5 (partial fraction decomposition).
a(n) = (8*(-1)^n + 2*(F(2*(n+1)) + F(2*n)))/5 for n >= 1. a(0) = 0.
(End)
a(n) = 2*(Fibonacci(n)*Fibonacci(n+1) + (-1)^n). - G. C. Greubel, Jul 22 2019
