%N a(n) = (1/2) * (number of n X n 0..4 matrices M with MM' mod 5 = I, where M' is the transpose of M and I is the n X n identity matrix).

%F a(2k+1) = 5^k * Product_{i=0..k-1} (5^(2k) - 5^(2i)); a(2k) = (5^k - 1) * Product_{i=1..k-1} (5^(2k) - 5^(2i)) (see MacWilliams, 1969). - _Max Alekseyev_, Nov 06 2022
%F From _Petros Hadjicostas_, Dec 20 2019: (Start)
%F Let b(n) be the number of solutions to the equation Sum_{i = 1..n} x_i^2 = 1 (mod 5) with x_i in 0..4. We have that b(n) = 5*b(n-1) + 5*b(n-2) - 25*b(n-3) for n >= 3 with b(0) = 0, b(1) = 2, and b(2) = 4.
%F We have b(n) = A330607(n, k=1) for n >= 0.
%F We conjecture that a(n+1) = a(n)*b(n+1) for n >= 1. (End)
%e From _Petros Hadjicostas_, Dec 17 2019: (Start)
%e For n = 2, the 2*a(2) = 8 n X n matrices M with elements in {0,1,2,3,4} that satisfy MM' mod 5 = I are the following:
%e (a) those with 1 = det(M) mod 5:
%e [[1,0],[0,1]]; [[0,4],[1,0]]; [[0,1],[4,0]]; [[4,0],[0,4]].
%e These form the abelian group SO(2, Z_5). See the comments for sequence A060968.
%e (b) those with 4 = det(M) mod 5:
%e [[0,1],[1,0]]; [[0,4],[4,0]]; [[1,0],[0,4]]; [[4,0],[0,1]].
%e Note that, for n = 3, we have 2*a(3) = 2*120 = 240 = A264083(5). (End)
