COMMENT

This polynomial is the characteristic polynomial of the Fibonacci and Lucas 3-step sequences, A000073 and A001644. The periods of the sequences A000073(k) mod p and A001644(k) mod p have length less than p. For a given p, let the zeros be a, b and c. Then A001644(k) mod p = (a^k+b^k+c^k) mod p. This sequence is the same as A033209 except for the initial term.
