COMMENTS

A 5 X 5 vector matrix Markov chain based on a shifted Chebyshev recursive characteristic polynomial: -8 - 8 x + 8 x^2 + 4 x^3 - x^5 <- (-1 + 4 y + 8 y^2 - 8 y^3 - 8 y^4).

MATHEMATICA

M = {{0, 1, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 1, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0, 1}, {-8, -8, 8, 4, 0}}; v[1] = {0, 0, 0, 0, 1}; v[n_] := v[n] = M.v[n - 1]; a1 = Table[v[n][[1]], {n, 1, 50}]
