FORMULA

Recurrence: a(n) = a(n-1)+a(n-2)+a(n-5). G.f.: 1/(1-x-x^2-x^5).

a(n)=sum(k=0..n, sum(j=floor((5*k-n)/4)..k, binomial(j,n-5*k+4*j)*binomial(k,j))). [From Vladimir Kruchinin, Dec 15 2011]

MAPLE

a:= n-> (Matrix(5, (i, j)-> if i+1=j or j=1 and member (i, [1, 2, 5]) then 1 else 0 fi)^n)[1, 1]: seq (a(n), n=0..40); [From Alois P. Heinz (heinz(AT)hs-heilbronn.de), Oct 07 2008]

PROG

(Maxima)

a(n):=sum(sum(binomial(j, n-5*k+4*j)*binomial(k, j), j, floor((5*k-n)/4), k), k, 0, n); [From Vladimir Kruchinin, Dec 15 2011]
