COMMENTS
Zhi-Wei Sun conjectured that a(n)>0 for all n=5,6,... (i.e., any integer n>4 can be written as the sum of an odd prime, a positive Fibonacci number and a square of a positive Fibonacci number, with one of the two Fibonacci numbers odd). He has verified this for n up to 3*10^7.
Zhi-Wei Sun has offered a monetary reward for settling this conjecture.

EXAMPLE
For n=10 the a(10)=3 solutions are 3+F_4+(F_3)^2, 5+F_2+(F_3)^2, 7+F_3+(F_2)^2.
