COMMENT

Coresponding imaginary part = A079472(n); e.g. (3 + 5i)^2 = (-16 + 30i) where 30 = A079472(5). Consider a(n) and A079472(n) as legs of a Pythagorean triangle. Then hypotenuse = corresponding n-th term in the sequence (1, 2, 5, 13...; i.e. odd indexed Fibonacci terms.) a(n)/a(n-1) tends to Phi^2.

FORMULA

a(n) = Re:(F(n-1 + Fn*i)^2 a(n) = (F(n-1))^2 - (Fn)^2.

G.f.: (1-3x)/((1+x)(1-3x+x^2)); - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Oct 13 2006

EXAMPLE

a(5) = -16 since Re:(3 + 5i)^2 = (-16 + 30i).

a(5) = -16 = 3^2 - 5^2.
