COMMENTS

Apart from the first two terms all the other numbers can be formed adding in sequence 2, 4, 6, 6, 2 and so on. Example 1+(2)=3; 3+(4)=7; 7+(6)=13; 13+(6)=19; 19+(2)=21; ...

FORMULA

a(n) = a(n-1)+ ((abs(2^a(n-1)*a(n-1)) mod 10) being a(0) = 0 and a(1) = 1

a(n)=(2/5)*Sum{k=0..n-1}{3*(k mod 5)+[(k+1) mod 5]+[(k+4) mod 5]}-1+[C(2*n,n) mod 2], with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Oct 07 2008]

EXAMPLE

a(2)= 1 + abs(2^1 *1)mod 10 = 1 + 2 mod 10 = 1 + 2 = 3

MAPLE

ANM:=proc(N) local an, i, anminus1, anplus1; anminus1:=0; an:=1; print (anminus1); print (an); for i from 2 by 1 to N do anplus1:=an+(abs(2^an*an) mod 10); print(anplus1); anminus1:=an; an:=anplus1; od; end: ANM(100);
