From Klaus Purath, Mar 18 2019: (Start)
Let m be a(n) or a prime factor of a(n). Then, except for 1 and 5, there are, if m is a prime, exactly two squares y^2 such that the difference y^2 - m contains exactly one pair of factors {x,z} such that the following applies: x*z = y^2 - m, x + y = z with
x < y, where {x,y,z} are relatively prime numbers. {x,y,z} are the initial values of a sequence of the Fibonacci type. Thus each a(n) > 5, if it is a prime, and each prime factor p > 5 of an a(n) can be assigned to exactly two sequences of the Fibonacci type. a(0) = 1 belongs to the original Fibonacci sequence and a(1) = 5 to the Lucas sequence.
But also the reverse assignment applies. From any sequence (f(i)) of the Fibonacci type we get from its 3 initial values by f(i)^2 - f(i-1)*f(i+1) with f(i-1) < f(i) a term a(n) or a prime factor p of a(n). This relation is also valid for any i. In this case we get the absolute value |a(n)| or |p|. (End)

a(n+1) is the number of wedged n-dimensional spheres in the homotopy of the neighborhood complex of Kneser graph KG_{2,n}. Here, KG_{2,n} is a graph whose vertex set is the collection of subsets of cardinality 2 of set {1,2,...,n+3,n+4} and two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are disjoint. - Anurag Singh, Mar 22 2021
Also the number of squares between (n+2)^2 and (n+2)^4. - Karl-Heinz Hofmann, Dec 07 2021
