COMMENTS

Sequence produced by 4 X 4 Markov chain with symmetric quartic characteristic polynomial x^4-5*x^3+5*x+1.

Setting m=3 gives a Fibonacci sequence.

FORMULA

Let m=5, M={{0, 1, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 1}, {-1, -m, 0, m}}, v[n]=M.v[n-1], then a(n) = v[n][[1]].

MATHEMATICA

m = 5 M = {{0, 1, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 1}, {-1, -m, 0, m}} Expand[Det[M - x*IdentityMatrix[4]]] NSolve[Det[M - x*IdentityMatrix[4]] == 0, x] v[1] = {0, 1, 1, 2}; v[n_] := v[n] = M.v[n - 1]; digits = 50; a = Table[v[n][[1]], {n, 1, digits}]
