Comments

For all prime p, a(p) mod p = p-1. The first composite p satisfying the relation is 4 (from the seed value a(4) = 11), but the second one is 14791044.
Found via automated search for linear recurrence sequences of the form a(n) = trace(M^n) generating more infrequent pseudoprimes than the Perrin numbers, A001608.
This sequence, like the Lucas and Perrin numbers, has a Binet-like formula with coefficient 1 for powers of all complex roots of the characteristic equation det(M - bI) = 0. All recurrence sequences of the form a(n) = trace(M^n) seem to have a Binet-like formula of this type. Sequences with such a formula all generate a probable-prime test: a(p) is congruent to a(1) mod p for prime p. A composite number satisfying the test is a pseudoprime for the sequence.
For coefficients in {-1, 0, 1}, this sequence has the highest first pseudoprime after the seed indices for all linear recurrences of this type over the previous 7 terms.

Examples

			a(5) = -11 + (-7) - 3 + 5 = -16.
