COMMENTS
Also, with a different offset, number of colored quivers in the 3-mutation class of a quiver of Dynkin type A_n. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jan 22 2013
Number of oriented polyominoes composed of n pentagonal cells of the hyperbolic regular tiling with Schläfli symbol {5,oo}. A stereographic projection of this tiling on the Poincaré disk can be obtained via the Christensson link. For oriented polyominoes, chiral pairs are counted as two. - Robert A. Russell, Jan 23 2024

FORMULA
a(n) ~ 2^(8*n + 1/2) / (sqrt(Pi) * n^(5/2) * 3^(3*n + 5/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 13 2016
a(n) = A005040(n) + A369471(n) = 2*A005040(n) - A369472(n) = 2*A369471(n) + A369472(n). - Robert A. Russell, Jan 23 2024
