In any generalized Fibonacci sequence {f(i)}, sum_{i=0..4n+1} f(i) = a(n) f(2n+2). - Lekraj Beedassy (blekraj(AT)yahoo.com), Dec 31 2002

The continued fraction expansion for F((2n+1)*(k+1))/F((2n+1)*k) k>=1 is [a(n),a(n),...,a(n)] where there are exactly k elements (F(n) denotes the n-th Fibonacci number). E.g. continued fraction for F(12)/F(9) is [4, 4,4]. - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Apr 10 2003

Sequence of all positive integers k such that continued fraction [k,k,k,k,k,k,...] belongs to Q(sqrt(5)). - Thomas Baruchel Sep 15 2003

All positive integer solutions of Pell equation a(n)^2 - 5*b(n)^2 = -4 together with b(n)=A001519(n), n>=0.

a(n) = L(n,-3)*(-1)^n, where L is defined as in A108299; see also A001519 for L(n,+3).

Inverse binomial transform of A030191 . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Oct 04 2005

General recurrence is a(n)=(a(1)-1)*a(n-1)-a(n-2), a(1)>=4, lim n->infinity a(n)= x*(k*x+1)^n, k =(a(1)-3), x=(1+sqrt((a(1)+1)/(a(1)-3)))/2. Examples in OEIS: a(1)=4 gives A002878, primes in it A121534. a(1)=5 gives A001834, primes in it A086386. a(1)=6 gives A030221, primes in it not in OEIS {29,139,3191,...}. a(1)=7 gives A002315, primes in it A088165. a(1)=8 gives A033890, primes in it not in OEIS (does there exist any ?). a(1)=9 gives A057080, primes in it not in OEIS {71,34649,16908641,...}. a(1)=10 gives A057081, primes in it not in OEIS {389806471,192097408520951,...}.

Let r = (2n+1), then a(n), n>0 = PRODUCT_{k=1,[(r-1)/2] (1 + Sin^2 k*Pi/r); e.g., a(3) = 29 = (3.4450418679...)*(4.801937735...)*(1.753020396...). [From Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Nov 26 2008]
