FORMULA

G.f.: (1-x)(4+x+x^2)/((1+x^2)(1-x-x^2)). a(n)=L(n)+i^n+(-i)^n, a(2n)=L(n)^2, a(2n+1)=L(2n+1) where L() is Lucas sequence.

MAPLE

A001638:=-(z+1)*(4*z**2-z+1)/(z**2+z-1)/(z**2+1); [Conjectured by S. Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation.]

PROGRAM

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<0, 0, fibonacci(n+1)+fibonacci(n-1)+simplify(I^n+(-I)^n))

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<0, 0, polsym((1+x-x^2)*(1+x^2), n)[n+1])
