FORMULA
| a(1)=a(2)=a(3)=a(4)=a(5)=1; a(n)=(a(n-1)^2+a(n-2)^2+a(n-3)^2+a(n-4)^2)/a(n-5).
From the recurrence a(n)=5*a(n-1)*a(n-2)*a(n-3)*a(n-4) - a(n-5), any five successive terms satisfy the five-variable Hurwitz equation a(n)^2+a(n-1)^2+a(n-2)^2+a(n-3)^2+a(n-4)^2=5*a(n)*a(n-1)*a(n-2)*a(n-3)*a(n-4), As n tends to infinity, the limit of log(log(a(n)))/n is log x = 0.6562559790... where x=1.927561975... is the largest real root of the quartic x^4-x^3-x^2-x-1=0. - Andrew Hone (anwh(AT)kent.ac.uk), Nov 16 2005
