FORMULA

a(n) = 5*S(n-1, 5) - 2*S(n-2, 5) = S(n, 5) - S(n-2, 5) = 2*T(n, 5/2), with S(n, x)=U(n, x/2), S(-1, x)=0, S(-2, x)=-1. U(n, x), resp. T(n, x), are Chebyshev's polynomials of the second, resp. first, kind. S(n-1, 5) = A004254(n), n>=0.
G.f.: (2-5*x)/(1-5*x+x^2). - Simon Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation.
a(n) ~ (1/2*(5 + sqrt(21)))^n. - Joe Keane (jgk(AT)jgk.org), May 16 2002
a(n) = ap^n + am^n, with ap=(5+sqrt(21))/2 and am=(5-sqrt(21))/2.
a(n) = sqrt(4 + 21*A004254(n)^2).
From Peter Bala, Jan 06 2013: (Start)
Let F(x) = Product_{n=0..inf} (1 + x^(4*n+1))/(1 + x^(4*n+3)). Let alpha = 1/2*(5 - sqrt(21)). This sequence gives the simple continued fraction expansion of 1 + F(alpha) = 2.19827 65373 95327 17782 ... = 2 + 1/(5 + 1/(23 + 1/(110 + ...))).
Also F(-alpha) = 0.79824 49142 28050 93561 ... has the continued fraction representation 1 - 1/(5 - 1/(23 - 1/(110 - ...))) and the simple continued fraction expansion 1/(1 + 1/((5-2) + 1/(1 + 1/((23-2) + 1/(1 + 1/((110-2) + 1/(1 + ...))))))).
F(alpha)*F(-alpha) has the simple continued fraction expansion 1/(1 + 1/((5^2-4) + 1/(1 + 1/((23^2-4) + 1/(1 + 1/((110^2-4) + 1/(1 + ...))))))).

a(n) = (A217787(k+3n) + A217787(k-3n))/A217787(k) for k>=3n. - Bruno Berselli, Mar 25 2013
