%N a(n) = Sum_{0<=i<j<=n}L(i)*L(j), where L(k)=A000032(k) is the k-th Lucas number.

%C This sequence does for Lucas numbers what A190173 does for Fibonacci numbers.

%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_06">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (4,-2,-6,4,2,-1).

%F The sums are (1) for L(2*k): (L(2*k+1)-1)^2 + L(2*k-1) + 1 and (2) for L(2*k+1): (L(2*k+2)-1)^2 + L(2*k) - 4.

%F G.f.: -x*(x^3+5*x^2-3*x-2) / ((x-1)*(x+1)*(x^2-3*x+1)*(x^2+x-1)). - _Colin Barker_, May 12 2014

%F a(n) = (L(n+1)-1)^2 + L(n-1) + (5*(-1)^n-3)/2. - _Colin Barker_, May 13 2014

%e For L(12) = a(13) the sum is (L(13)-1)^2 + L(11) + 1 = 520^2 + 200 = 270600 and for L(13) = a(14) the sum is (L(14)-1)^2 + l(12) - 4 = 842^2 + 322 - 4 = 709282.
