a(n)/A007598(n) ~= golden ratio, especially for larger n. - Robert Happelberg (roberthappelberg(AT)yahoo.com), Jul 25 2005
Let phi be the golden ratio (cf. A001622). Then 1/phi = phi - 1 = Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n-1)/a(n), an alternating infinite series consisting solely of unit fractions. - Franz Vrabec, Sep 14 2005
a(n+2) is the Hankel transform of A005807 aerated. - Paul Barry, Nov 04 2008
A more exact name would be: Golden convergents to rectangle numbers. These rectangles are not actually golden (ratio of sides is not phi) but are golden convergents (sides are numerator and denominator of convergents in the continued fraction expansion of phi, whence ratio of sides converges to phi). - Daniel Forgues, Nov 29 2009
The Kn4 sums (see A180662 for definition) of the "Races with Ties" triangle A035317 lead to this sequence. - Johannes W. Meijer, Jul 20 2011
Numbers m such that m(5m+2)+1 or m(5m-2)+1 is a square. - Bruno Berselli, Oct 22 2012
In pairs, these numbers are important in finding binomial coefficients that appear in at least six places in Pascal's triangle. For instance, the pair (m,n) = (40, 104) finds the numbers binomial(n-1,m) = binomial(n,m-1). Two additional numbers are found on the other side of the triangle. The final two numbers appear in row binomial(n-1,m). See A003015. - T. D. Noe, Mar 13 2013
For n>1, a(n) is one-half the area of the trapezoid created by the four points (F(n),L(n)), (L(n),F(n)), (F(n+1), L(n+1)), (L(n+1), F(n+1)) where F(n) = A000045(n) and L(n) = A000032(n). - J. M. Bergot, May 14 2014

a(n) = A067962(n-1) / A067962(n-2), n > 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Sep 24 2015
Can be obtained (up to signs) by setting x = F(n)/F(n+1) in g.f. for Fibonacci numbers - see Pongsriiam. - N. J. A. Sloane, Mar 23 2017

Formula

a(n) = A010048(n+1, 2) = Fibonomial(n+1, 2).
a(n) = A006498(2*n-1).
a(n) = a(n - 1) + A007598(n) = a(n - 1) + A000045(n)^2 = Sum_{j <= n} Fibonacci(j)^2. - Henry Bottomley, Feb 09 2001 [corrected by Ridouane Oudra, Apr 12 2025]
For n > 0, 1 - 1/a(n+1) = Sum_{k=1..n} 1/(F(k)*F(k+2)) where F(k) is the k-th Fibonacci number. - Benoit Cloitre, Aug 31 2002.
G.f.: x/(1-2*x-2*x^2+x^3) = x/((1+x)*(1-3*x+x^2)). (Simon Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation; see Comments to A055870),
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - a(n-2) - (-1)^n = -a(-1-n).
Let M = the 3 X 3 matrix [1 2 1 / 1 1 0 / 1 0 0]; then a(n) = the center term in M^n *[1 0 0]. E.g., a(5) = 40 since M^5 * [1 0 0] = [64 40 25]. - Gary W. Adamson, Oct 10 2004
a(n) = Sum{k=0..n} Fibonacci(k)^2. The proof is easy. Start from a square (1*1). On the right side, draw another square (1*1). On the above side draw a square ((1+1)*(1+1)). On the left side, draw a square ((1+2)*(1+2)) and so on. You get a rectangle (F(n)*F(1+n)) which contains all the squares of side F(1), F(2), ..., F(n). - Philippe LALLOUET (philip.lallouet(AT)wanadoo.fr), Jun 19 2007
With phi = (1+sqrt(5))/2, a(n) = round((phi^(2*n+1))/5) = floor((1/2) + (phi^(2*n+1))/5), n >= 0. - Daniel Forgues, Nov 29 2009
