Formula

O.g.f.: 5/(1-3*x). - R. J. Mathar, Jan 31 2008

Limit_{n->oo} sigma(a(n))/a(n) = 9/5 = sigma(10)/10 (see Ward link). - Michel Marcus, Apr 30 2013

G.f.: 1/x + 2 - 2/x/G(0), where G(k)= 1 + 1/(1 - x*(5*k-3)/(x*(5*k+2) - 1/G(k+1))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jun 04 2013

a(n) = 5*A000244(n). - Michel Marcus, Aug 25 2016
