FORMULA

a(n) = (6*(((3+sqrt(5))/2)^n - ((3-sqrt(5))/2)^n) - (((3+sqrt(5))/2)^(n-1) - ((3-sqrt(5))/2)^(n-1)))/sqrt(5).

a(n) = 2*Lucas(2*n+1) - Fibonacci(2*n+1).

G.f.: (1+3*x)/(1-3*x+x^2). - Philippe Deléham, Nov 03 2008

a(n) = 5*Fibonacci(2*n) + Fibonacci(2*n-1). - Ehren Metcalfe, Mar 26 2016

E.g.f.: (1/10) * exp((3-sqrt(5))*x/2) * ((5-9*sqrt(5)) + (5+9*sqrt(5)) * exp(sqrt(5)*x) ). - G. C. Greubel, Mar 26 2016
