Comments

Except for a(6)=10 and a(9)=40, it seems that a(n) is a Lucas number.

Except for a(3)=2, a(6)=10 and a(9)=40, it seems that a(n)^2+2 is a Lucas number.

Formula

a(n+6) = A002878(n) for n>=4.

a(n) = 3*a(n-1)-a(n-2) for n>11. - Colin Barker, Jun 30 2015

G.f.: x^2*(11*x^9-15*x^8-36*x^7+6*x^6-15*x^5+x^4-3*x^3-2*x^2-x+1) / (x^2-3*x+1). - Colin Barker, Jun 30 2015

Example

0^2+2 = 2 = 1*2 = F(1)*L(0);
1^2+2 = 3 = 1*3 = F(1)*L(2);
2^2+2 = 6 = 2*3 = F(3)*L(2);
3^2+2 = 11 = 1*11 = F(1)*L(5);
4^2+2 = 18 = 1*18 = F(1)*L(6);
10^2+2 = 102 = 34*3 = F(9)*L(2).
