Formula

a(n) = 20*a(n-1) - 35*a(n-2) - 35*a(n-3) + 20*a(n-4) - a(n-5). - R. J. Mathar, Nov 23 2010

G.f.: x*(1-14*x-31*x^2+22*x^3-2*x^4) / ((1+x)*(x^2-3*x+1)*(x^2-18*x+1)).

a(n+1) = (-2*(-1)^n + A134493(n+1) + 3*A001519(n+2))/5. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 23 2010

Example

d(3) = 54 since F(7)^3 = F(9)^2 + F(16) + 54.
