COMMENTS

This sequence is the same as the period of Lucas 5-step sequence (A106298) mod prime(n) except for n=1 and 109, which correspond to the primes 2 and 599, because 9584 is the discriminant of the characteristic polynomial x^5-x^4-x^3-x^2-x-1 and the prime factors of 9584 are 2 and 599. We have a(n) < prime(n) for the primes in A106281.
