FORMULA

G.f.: (1-x)/(1-x-x^5) = 1/(1-sum(k>=5, x^k)).

For positive integers n and k such that k <= n <= 5*k, and 4 divides n-k, define c(n,k) = binomial(k,(n-k)/4), and c(n,k) = 0, otherwise. Then, for n>=1, a(n+5) = sum(c(n,k), k=1..n). - Milan Janjic, Dec 09 2011

MAPLE

f := proc(r) local t1, i; t1 := []; for i from 1 to r do t1 := [op(t1), 0]; od: for i from 1 to r+1 do t1 := [op(t1), 1]; od: for i from 2*r+2 to 50 do t1 := [op(t1), t1[i-1]+t1[i-1-r]]; od: t1; end; # set r = order

a:= n-> (Matrix(5, (i, j)-> if (i=j-1) then 1 elif j=1 then [1, 0$3, 1][i] else 0 fi)^n)[5, 5]; seq (a(n), n=0..50); # Alois P. Heinz, Aug 04 2008
