To clarify a bit:
I think these two sequences should be merged, since the terms are the same.
And the definition should be
  SUM from k=1 to floor(n/2) of A023532(k)*Fib(n-k)
and in the comments it can indicate
Also equals the SUM from k = 1 to floor((n+1)/2) of A023532(k)*Fib(n-k+1)

And while we're at it, we might as well add a few more terms since
it's not quite 3 lines full yet.

0 1 2 3 5 11 18 34 55 89 144 246 398 665 1076 1775 2872 4647 7519

2077693655 3361825320 5439547632 8801447977 14241041977

And finally, you might note I inserted a 0 at the beginning -- should
we have offset 0, and include that leading term?  Or stick with offset
1 and beginning with 1?

Thanks,

Neil:
Here it is in OEIS comment format (also submitted via the web form, so
you can ignore this copy if you like).
I think you should also kill A025067 (maybe replacing it with a
pointer to here).
A quick check doesn't find any cross-refs (inside OEIS or, by Google,
outside of OEIS) to A025067 so I think there's no harm in killing it.

is really equal to 1/2 + Pi/6.  But the agreement is
not very close.  Can someone compute more decimal places?

Thanks
