A113109
Number of 5-tournament sequences: a(n) gives the number of increasing sequences of n positive integers (t_1,t_2,...,t_n) such that t_1 = 2 and t_i = 2 (mod 4) and t_{i+1} <= 5*t_i for 1<i<n.

Equals column 0 of triangle A113108, which is the matrix square of triangle A113106, which satisfies the recurrence: A113106(n,k) = [A113106^5](n-1,k-1) + [A113106^5](n-1,k).

EXAMPLE
The tree of 5-tournament sequences of descendents
of a node labeled (2) begins:
[2]; generation 1: 2->[6,10]; generation 2:
6->[10,14,18,22,26,30], 10->[14,18,22,26,30,34,38,42,46,50]; ...
Then a(n) gives the number of nodes in generation n.
Also, a(n+1) = sum of labels of nodes in generation n.
