%F Let F(n) be the Fibonacci number A000045(n) and let L(n) be the Lucas number A000032(n).

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} (-1)^k F(2k)^3.

%F a(n) = (1/50)*(L(6n+3) - 6 L(2n+1) + 2) if n is even.

%F a(n) = -(1/50)*(L(6n+3) - 6 L(2n+1) - 2) if n is odd.

%F a(n) = (1/2) * F(n)^2 * F(n+1)^2 * (L(2n+1) + 2) if n is even.

%F a(n) = -(1/2) * F(n)^2 * F(n+1)^2 * (L(2n+1) - 2) if n is odd.

%F a(n) + 21*a(n-1) + 56*a(n-2) + 21*a(n-3) + a(n-4) = 4.

%F a(n) + 20*a(n-1) + 35*a(n-2) - 35*a(n-3) - 20*a(n-4) - a(n-5) = 0.

%F G.f.: (-x + 6*x^2 - x^3)/(1 + 20*x + 35*x^2 - 35*x^3 - 20*x^4 - x^5) = -x*(1 - 6*x + x^2)/((1 - x)*(1 + 3*x + x^2)*(1 + 18*x + x^2)).
