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. - 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-2*k-1). - Paul Barry, Apr 23 2005

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

a(n) = 2^(n-1)*Fibonacci(n, 5/2) = (2/i)^(n-1)*ChebyshevU(n-1, 5*i/4). - G. C. Greubel, Dec 26 2019
