[A085448(n)]^2 - 29*[a(n-1)]^2 = 4*(-1)^n. - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Jul 01 2003

a(p) == 29^((p-1)/2)) mod p, for odd primes p. [From Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Feb 22 2009]

For more information about this type of recurrence follow the Khovanova link and see A054413, A086902 and A178765. [Johannes W. Meijer, Jun 12 2010] Binomial transform of A015523. [Johannes W. Meijer, Aug 01 2010]

For positive n, a(n) equals the permanent of the nXn tridiagonal matrix with 5's along the main diagonal and 1's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal. [From John M. Campbell, Jul 08 2011]

FORMULA

G.f.: -1/(-1+5*x+x^2)

a(3n)=A041047(5n), a(3n+1)=A041047(5n+3), a(3n+2)=2*A041047(5n+4) - Henry Bottomley (se16(AT)btinternet.com), May 10 2000.

Sum(1/29*(5+2*_alpha)*_alpha^(-1-n), _alpha=RootOf(-1+5*_Z+_Z^2))

a(n-1) = [[(5 + sqrt(29))/2]^n - [(5 - sqrt(29))/2]^n]/sqrt(29) - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Jul 01 2003

a(n)= U(n, 5*I/2)*(-I)^n with I^2=-1 and Chebyshev's U(n, x/2)=S(n, x) polynomials. See triangle A049310.

Let M = {{0, 1}, {1, 5}}, v[1] = {0, 1}, v[n] = M.v[n - 1]; then a = v[n][[1]]. - Roger L. Bagula (rlbagulatftn(AT)yahoo.com), May 29 2005 - T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Jan 19 2006

a(n)=F(n, 5), the n-th Fibonacci polynomial evaluated at x=5. - T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Jan 19 2006

a(n), n>0 = denominator of n-th convergent to [1, 4, 5, 5, 5,...]. Continued fraction [1, 4, 5, 5, 5,...] = .807417596..., the inradius of a right triangle with legs 2 and 5. n-th convergent = A100237(n)/A052918(n), the first few being: 1/1, 4/5, 21/26, 109/135, 566/701,... - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Dec 21 2007

Contribution from Johannes W. Meijer (meijgia(AT)hotmail.com), Jun 12 2010: (Start)

a(2n+1) = 5*A097781(n), a(2n) = A097835(n).

Limit(a(n+k)/a(k), k=infinity) = (A087130(n) + A052918(n-1)*sqrt(29))/2.

Limit(A087130(n)/A052918(n-1), n=infinity) = sqrt(29).

Limit(a(n+k)/a(k),k=infinity) = (A087130(n)+A052918(n-1)*sqrt(29))/2

Contribution by L. Edson Jeffery, Jan 07 2012 (Start):

Define the 2 X 2 matrix A=[1,1; 5,4]. Then:

a(n) = (1/5)*[A^(n+2)-A^(n+1)]_(1,1);

a(n) = [A^(n+1)]_(1,2);

a(n) = (1/5)*[A^(n+1)]_(2,1);

a(n) = [sum[k=0..n, A^k]]_(2,2). (End)
