COMMENTS

a(n+1)= Y_{n}(n+1)= Z_{n}, n >= 0, in the Derrida et al. 1992 reference (see A064094) for alpha=5, beta =1 (or alpha=1, beta=5).

FORMULA

G.f.: (1+5*x*c(5*x)/4)/(1+x/4) = 1/(1-x*c(5*x)) with c(x) g.f. of Catalan numbers A000108.

a(n)= sum((n-m)*binomial(n-1+m, m)*(5^m)/n, m=0..n-1) = ((-1/4)^n)*(1-5*sum(C(k)*(-20)^k, k=0..n-1)), n >= 1, a(0) := 1; with C(n)=A000108(n) (Catalan).

a(n) = Sum{ k= 0...n, A059365(n, k)*5^(n-k) } . - DELEHAM Philippe (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Jan 19 2004

Contribution from Gary W. Adamson, Jul 18 2011: (Start)

a(n) = upper left term in M^n, M = an infinite square production matrix as follows:

  1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0,...

  5, 5, 5, 0, 0, 0,...

  5, 5, 5, 5, 0, 0,...

  5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 0,...

  5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5,...

... (end)

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<0, 0, polcoeff(serreverse((x-4*x^2)/(1+x)^2+O(x^(n+1))), n)) (from R. Stephan)
