FORMULA

a(n) = 8a(n-1)-8a(n-2)+a(n-3)

a(n)=-1+2*{[(7/2)-(3/2)*sqrt(5)]^n+[(7/2)+(3/2)*sqrt(5)]^n}+sqrt(5)*{[(7/2)+(3/2)*sqrt(5)]^n -[(7/2)-(3/2)*sqrt(5)]^n}, with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (ppl(AT)spl.at), Dec 01 2008]

MAPLE

with(combinat): luc := proc(n) option remember: if n=0 then RETURN(2) fi: if n=1 then RETURN(1) fi: luc(n-1)+luc(n-2): end: for n from 0 to 25 do printf(`%d, `, luc(4*n+3)-1) od:
