[Empirical] a(base,n)=a(base-1,n)+5^(n-1) for base>=2n-1; a(base,n)=a(base-1,n)+5^(n-1)-2 when base=2n-2.
FORMULA
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Jun 01 2017: (Start)
G.f.: (1 + 3*x - 10*x^2 - 6*x^3 + 6*x^4 + 2*x^5) / (1 - 6*x + 5*x^2 + 8*x^3 - 4*x^4 - 2*x^5).
a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - 5*a(n-2) - 8*a(n-3) + 4*a(n-4) + 2*a(n-5) for n>5.
(End)
