COMMENTS

First differences give A122690(n) = {1, 4, 24, 136, 776, 4424, 25224, ...}. Partial sums of a(n) are {0, 1, 6, 35, 200, ...} = (A123270(n) - 1)/8. - Alexander Adamchuk, Nov 03 2006

For n>=2, a(n) equals the permanent of the (n-1)X(n-1) tridiagonal matrix with 5's along the main diagonal, and 2's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal. [From John M. Campbell, Jul 19 2011]

FORMULA

a(n) = 5*a(n-1) + 4*a(n-2).

a(n)=sum{k=0..floor((n-1)/2), C(n-k-1, k)4^k*5^(n-2k-1)} - Paul Barry, Apr 23 2005

a(n) = sum(k=0..n-1, A122690(k) ). - Alexander Adamchuk, Nov 03 2006

a(n)=(1/41)*sqrt(41)*(((5/2)+(1/2)*sqrt(41))^n-((5/2)-(1/2)*sqrt(41))^n), with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava, Jan 13 2009]

MATHEMATICA
