%N Row squared sums of triangle of Lucas polynomials (A034807) for n>0: Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} A034807(n,k)^2, with a(0)=1.

%C Also equals row squared sums of triangle A132460 and so equals the sum of the initial floor(n/2)+1 squared terms of 1/C(x)^n where C(x) is the g.f. of the Catalan numbers (A000108).

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} ( C(n-k, k) + C(n-k-1, k-1) )^2.

%F Ignoring initial term, equals the logarithmic derivative of A093128, which gives the number of dissections of a polygon using strictly disjoint diagonals. - _Paul D. Hanna_, Nov 09 2013

%F From _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Feb 28 2014: (Start)

%F Recurrence (for n>=5): (n-3)*n*a(n) = (2*n^2 - 7*n + 4)*a(n-1) + (n-4)*n*a(n-2) + (2*n^2 - 9*n + 8)*a(n-3) - (n-4)*(n-1)*a(n-4).

%F G.f.: (2-x+2*x^2)/sqrt((x^2+x+1)*(x^2-3*x+1))-1.

%F a(n) ~ 5^(3/4) * ((3+sqrt(5))/2)^n / (2*sqrt(Pi*n)).
