FORMULA

a(n) = (Fibonacci(3*n + 2) - 1)/2 = (A015448(n+1)-1)/2.
G.f.: 2*x/((1 - x)*(1 - 4*x - x^2)).
a(n) = (F(3n + 2) - 1)/2 = 2 * A049652(n).
a(n) = Sum_{0 <= j <= i <= n} binomial(i, j)*F(i + j). - Benoit Cloitre, May 21 2005
a(n) = 4*a(n - 1) + a(n - 2) + 2, n > 1.
a(n) = 5*a(n - 1) - 3*a(n - 2) - a(n - 3), n > 2.
a(n) = (Fibonacci(3*n + 3) + Fibonacci(3*n) - 2)/4. (End)
a(n) = (-10 + (5 - 3*sqrt(5))*(2 - sqrt(5))^n + (2 + sqrt(5))^n*(5 + 3*sqrt(5)))/20. - Colin Barker, Nov 26 2016
E.g.f.: exp(x)*(exp(x)*(5*cosh(sqrt(5)*x) + 3*sqrt(5)*sinh(sqrt(5)*x)) - 5)/10. - Stefano Spezia, Jun 03 2024
