COMMENTS

Row sums of Riordan array (1,x(1-5x)). In general, a(n)=sum{k=0..n,(-1)^(n-k)*binomial(k,n-k)*r^(n-k)} yields the row sums of the Riordan array (1,x(1-kx)).

FORMULA

a(n)=((1+sqrt(-19))^(n+1)-(1-sqrt(-19))^(n+1))/(2^(n+1)sqrt(-19)); a(n)=sum{k=0..n, (-1)^(n-k)*binomial(k, n-k)*5^(n-k)}. a(n)=5^(n/2)(cos(-n*acot(sqrt(19)/19))-sqrt(19)sin(-n*acot(sqrt(19)/19))/19).

a(n)=a(n-1)-5*a(n-2), a(0)=1, a(1)=1. [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Oct 21 2008]

a(n)=Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n}A109466(n,k)*5^(n-k). [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Oct 25 2008]
