a(n) = 3^n*b(n;2/3) = -b(n;-2), but we have 3^n*a(n;2/3) = F(3n+1) = A033887 and a(n;-2) = F(3n-1) = A015448, where a(n;d) and b(n;d), n=0,1,...,d, denote the so-called delta-Fibonacci numbers (the argument "d" of a(n;d) and b(n;d) is abbreviation of the symbol "delta") defined by the following equivalent relations: (1 + d*((sqrt(5) - 1)/2))^n = a(n;d) + b(n;d)*((sqrt(5) - 1)/2) equiv. a(0;d)=1, b(0;d)=0, a(n+1;d) = a(n;d) + d*b(n;d), b(n+1;d) = d*a(n;d) + (1-d)b(n;d) equiv. a(0;d)=a(1;d)=1, b(0;1)=0, b(1;d)=d, and x(n+2;d) + (d-2)*x(n+1;d) + (1-d-d^2)*x(n;d) = 0 for every n=0,1,...,d, and x=a,b equiv. a(n;d) = Sum_{k=0..n} C(n,k)*F(k-1)*(-d)^k, and b(n;d) = Sum_{k=0..n} C(n,k)*(-1)^(k-1)*F(k)*d^k equiv. a(n;d) = Sum_{k=0..n} C(n,k)*F(k+1)*(1-d)^(n-k)*d^k, and b(n;d) = Sum_{k=1..n} C(n;k)*F(k)*(1-d)^(n-k)*d^k. The sequences a(n;d) and b(n;d) for special values d are connected with many known sequences: A000045, A001519, A001906, A015448, A020699, A033887, A033889, A074872, A081567, A081568, A081569, A081574, A081575, A163073 (see also the papers of Witula et al.). - Roman Witula, Jul 12 2012
For any odd k, Fibonacci(k*n) = sqrt(Fibonacci((k-1)*n) * Fibonacci((k+1)*n) + Fibonacci(n)^2). - Gary Detlefs, Dec 28 2012
The ratio of consecutive terms approaches the continued fraction 4 + 1/(4 + 1/(4 +...)) = A098317. - Hal M. Switkay, Jul 05 2020

G.f.: 2*x + 8*x^2 + 34*x^3 + 144*x^4 + 610*x^5 + 2584*x^6 + 10946*x^7 + ...
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n, k)*F(k)*2^k. - Benoit Cloitre, Oct 25 2003
a(n) = 4*a(n-1) + a(n-2), with a(-1) = 2, a(0) = 0.
a(n) = (F(n+1))^3 + (F(n))^3 - (F(n-1))^3. (End)
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor((n-1)/2)} C(n, 2*k+1)*5^k*2^(n-2*k). - Mario Catalani (mario.catalani(AT)unito.it), Jul 22 2004
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} F(n+k)*binomial(n, k). - Benoit Cloitre, May 15 2005
a(n) = second binomial transform of (2,4,10,20,50,100,250). This is 2* (1,2,5,10,25,50,125) or 5^n (offset 0): *2 for the odd numbers or *4 for the even. The sequences are interpolated. Also a(n) = 2*((2+sqrt(5))^n - (2-sqrt(5))^n)/sqrt(20). - Al Hakanson (hawkuu(AT)gmail.com), May 02 2009
a(n) = (-1)^n*3*F(n) + 5*F(n)^3, n >= 0. See the D. Jennings formula given in a comment on A111125, where also the reference is given. - Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 31 2012
With L(n) a Lucas number, F(3*n) = F(n)*(L(2*n) + (-1)^n) = (L(3*n+1) + L(3*n-1))/5 starting at n=1. - J. M. Bergot, Oct 25 2012
a(n) = sqrt(Fibonacci(2*n)*Fibonacci(4*n) + Fibonacci(n)^2). - Gary Detlefs, Dec 28 2012
For n > 0, a(n) = 5*F(n-1)*F(n)*F(n+1) - 2*F(n)*(-1)^n. - J. M. Bergot, Dec 10 2015
a(n) = -(-1)^n * a(-n) for all n in Z. - Michael Somos, Nov 15 2018
a(n) = (5*Fibonacci(n)^3 + Fibonacci(n)*Lucas(n)^2)/4 (Ferns, 1967). - Amiram Eldar, Feb 06 2022
a(n) = 2*i^(n-1)*S(n-1,-4*i), with i = sqrt(-1), and the Chebyshev S-polynomials (see A049310) with S(-1, x) = 0. From the simplified trisection formula. - Gary Detlefs and Wolfdieter Lang, Mar 04 2023
