COMMENTS
For the complex Lucas function L(z) and its zeros see the commens in A214671 and the Koshy reference.
The modulus rho(k) of the zeros is sqrt(x_0(k)^2 + y_0(k)^2), with x_0(k) = (2*k+1)*(alpha/2) and y_0(k) = (2*k+1)*(b/2), where alpha = 2*(Pi^2)/(Pi^2 + (2*log(phi))^2) and b = 4*Pi*log(phi)/(Pi^2 + (2*log(phi))^2) (see the Fibonacci case A214657) and phi =(1+sqrt(5))/2. This leads to rho(k) = (k+1/2)*tau, with tau = 2*Pi/sqrt(Pi^2 + (2*log(phi))^2), known from the Fibonacci case. tau is approximately 1.912278633.
The zeros lie in the complex plane on a straight line with angle Phi = -arctan(2*log(phi)/Pi). They are equally spaced with distance tau given above. Phi is approximately -.2972713044, corresponding to about -17.03 degrees. This is the same line like in the Fibonacci case A214657, and the zeros of the Lucas function are just shifted on this line by tau/2, approximately 0.9561393165.
