From Roman Witula, Aug 07 2012: (Start)
In the cited Witula-Slota-Warzynski paper three so-called quasi-Fibonacci numbers A(n;d), B(n;d) and C(n;d), where n = 0,1,...,d \in C are discussed. These numbers are created by each of the following relations:
(1+d*c(j))^n = A(n;d) + B(n;d)*c(j) + C(n;d)*c(2*j), for every j=1,2,4, where c(j):=2*cos(2*Pi*j/7).
In fact all these "numbers" are integer polynomials of the argument d.
In the sequel for d=-1 we obtain A(n;-1)=a(n), B(n+1;-1)=-A085810(n).
Moreover, we have A(n;1)=A077998(n), B(n;1)=A006054(n+1), C(n;1)=A006054(n), and A(n;2)=A121442(n).
We note that the elements of the sequences A(n;-1), B(n;-1), and C(n;-1) satisfy the following system of recurrence equations:
A(0;-1)=1, B(0;-1)=C(0;-1)=0,
A(n+1;-1)=A(n;-1)-2*B(n;-1)+C(n;-1),
B(n+1;-1)=-A(n;-1)+B(n;-1), C(n+1;-1)=-B(n;-1)+2*C(n;-1).
It is proved that binomial transforms of the sequences: A(n;1), B(n;1), and C(n;1) are equal to the following sequences:
A(n;1)*(A(n;-1)-C(n;-1))-B(n;1)*(B(n;-1)+C(n;-1))+C(n;1)*B(n;-1), -A(n;1)*C(n;-1)+B(n;1)*(A(n;-1)-C(n;-1))-C(n;1)*(B(n;-1)-C(n;-1)), and
A(n;1)*(B(n;-1)-C(n;-1))-B(n;1)*B(n;-1)+C(n;1)*(A(n;-1)-B(n;-1)+C(n;-1)), respectively, whereas we have
A(n;-1) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k)*(A(k;1)*A(n-k;1)-A(k;1)*B(n-k;1)-B(k;1)*C(n-k;1)-A(n-k;1)*C(k;1)+2*B(n-k;1)*C(k;1)-C(k;1)*C(n-k;1)),
B(n;-1) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k)*(-A(k;1)*B(n-k;1)+A(k;1)*C(n-k;1)+B(k;1)*B(n-k;1)-A(n-k;1)*C(k;1)+B(n-k;1)*C(k;1)-C(k;1)*C(n-k;1)), and
C(n;-1) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k)*(-A(k;1)*B(n-k;1)+A(n-k;1)*B(k;1)+B(k;1)*B(n-k;1)-B(k;1)*C(n-k;1)-A(n-k;1)*C(k;1)) (see identities (3.50-52) and (3.61-63) in the Witula-Slota-Warzynski paper).

FORMULA
a(0)=a(1)=1, a(2)=3, a(n+1) = 4*a(n) - 3*a(n-1) - a(n-2) for n>=2.
7*a(n) = (2-c(4))*(1-c(1))^n + (2-c(1))*(1-c(2))^n + (2-c(2))*(1-c(4))^n = (s(2))^2*(1-c(1))^n + (s(4))^2*(1-c(2))^n + (s(1))^2*(1-c(4))^n, where c(j):=2*cos(2*Pi*j/7) and s(j):=2*sin(2*Pi*j/7) -- it is the special case, for d=-1, of the Binet's formula for the respective quasi-Fibonacci number A(n;d) discussed in the Witula-Slota-Warzynski paper. - Roman Witula, Aug 07 2012
