%C A079472 a(n+1) = 2*F(n)*F(n+1) appears as the second component of the square of [F(n), F(n+1), F(n+2), F(n+3)], for n >= 0, with F(n) = A000045(n), in the Clifford algebra Cl_2 over Euclidean 2-space. The whole quartet of sequences for this square is [-A248161(n), a(n+1), A059929(n), A121801(n+1)]. See the Oct 15 2014 comment in A147973 where also a reference is given. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Nov 01 2014
%C A079472 a(n+1) is the numerator of the continued fraction [1,...,1,2,1,...,1] with n 1's to the left of the central 2, and n 1's to the right of the central 2. For the denominators, see A061646. - _Greg Dresden_ and Max Liu, Jun 25 2023
%C A079472 For n >= 3, a(n) equals the sum of the sides of the right triangle with side lengths [F(n)*F(n-3), 2*F(n-1)*F(n-2), F(2*n-3)] (n = 4 corresponds to the 3-4-5 right triangle). - _Peter Bala_, Nov 03 2023
