Same as Pisot sequences E(1, 5), L(1, 5), P(1, 5), T(1, 5). Essentially same as Pisot sequences E(5, 25), L(5, 25), P(5, 25), T(5, 25). See A008776 for definitions of Pisot sequences.
a(n) has leading digit 1 if and only if n = A067497 - 1. - Lekraj Beedassy, Jul 09 2002
With interpolated zeros 0, 1, 0, 5, 0, 25, ... (g.f.: x/(1 - 5*x^2)) second inverse binomial transform of Fibonacci(3n)/Fibonacci(3) (A001076). Binomial transform is A085449. - Paul Barry, Mar 14 2004
Sums of rows of the triangles in A013620 and A038220. - Reinhard Zumkeller, May 14 2006
Sum of coefficients of expansion of (1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4)^n. a(n) is number of compositions of natural numbers into n parts less than 5. a(2) = 25 there are 25 compositions of natural numbers into 2 parts less than 5. - Adi Dani, Jun 22 2011
The compositions of n in which each natural number is colored by one of p different colors are called p-colored compositions of n. For n >= 1, a(n) equals the number of 5-colored compositions of n such that no adjacent parts have the same color. - Milan Janjic, Nov 17 2011
Numbers n such that sigma(5n) = 5n + sigma(n). In fact we have this theorem: p is a prime if and only if all solutions of the equation sigma(p*x) = p*x + sigma(x) are powers of p. - Jahangeer Kholdi, Nov 23 2013
From Doug Bell, Jun 22 2015: (Start)
Empirical observation: Where n is an odd multiple of 3, let x = (a(n) + 1)/9 and let y be the decimal expansion of x/a(n); then y*(x+1)/x + 1 = y rotated to the left.
Example:
a(3) = 125;
x = (125 + 1)/9 = 14;
y = 112, which is the decimal expansion of 14/125 = 0.112;
112*(14 + 1)/14 + 1 = 121 = 112 rotated to the left.
(End)
a(n) is the number of n-digit integers that contain only odd digits (A014261). - Bernard Schott, Nov 12 2022
Number of pyramids in the Sierpinski fractal square-based pyramid at the n-th step, while A279511 gives the corresponding number of vertices (see IREM link with drawings). - Bernard Schott, Nov 29 2022

FORMULA
a(n) = 5^n.
a(0) = 1; a(n) = 5*a(n-1) for n > 0.
G.f.: 1/(1 - 5*x).
E.g.f.: exp(5*x).
a(n) = A006495(n)^2 + A006496(n)^2.
a(n) = A159991(n) / A001021(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, May 02 2009
From Bernard Schott, Nov 12 2022: (Start)
