Comments

Compare to the g.f. of partitions: Sum_{n>=0} x^n/Product_{k=1..n} (1-x^k).

As an analog to the identity: (1-x^n) = Product_{k=0..n-1} (1 - u^k*x), where u=exp(2*Pi*I/n), we have (1 - Lucas(n)*x^n + (-1)^n*x^(2*n)) = Product_{k=0..n-1} (1 - u^k*x - (u^k*x)^2).

Example

G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 2*x^2 + 4*x^3 + 10*x^4 + 18*x^5 + 44*x^6 + 78*x^7 +...
where
A(x) = 1 + x/(1-x-x^2) + x^2/((1-x-x^2)*(1-3*x^2+x^4)) + x^3/((1-x-x^2)*(1-3*x^2+x^4)*(1-4*x^3-x^6)) + x^4/((1-x-x^2)*(1-3*x^2+x^4)*(1-4*x^3-x^6)*(1-7*x^4+x^8)) + x^5/((1-x-x^2)*(1-3*x^2+x^4)*(1-4*x^3-x^6)*(1-7*x^4+x^8)*(1-11*x^5-x^10)) +...).
