An interesting property of a recurrence related to the Fibonacci sequence
The sequence of Fibonacci numbers with even subscripts (F_{;2n};) has one remarkable property. If we choose three successive elements of this sequence, than the product of any two of them increased by 1 is a perfect square. Indeed, F_{;2n}; F_{;2n+2}; + 1 = F_{;2n+1};^2, F_{;2n}; F_{;2n+4}; + 1 = F_{;2n+2};^2. This property was studied and generalized by several authors. Hoggatt and Bergum proved that the number d = 4F_{;2n+1};F_{;2n+2};F_{;2n+3}; has the property that F_{;2n};d + 1, F_{;2n+2};d + 1 and F_{;2n+4};d + 1 are perfect squares, and Dujella proved that the positive integer d with the above property is unique. The purpose of this paper is to characterize linear binary recursive sequences which possess the similar property as the above property of Fibonacci numbers.
