From Johannes W. Meijer, Jun 12 2010: (Start)
The a(n) terms of this sequence can be constructed with the terms of sequence A099371.
For the terms of the periodic sequence of the continued fraction for sqrt(85) see A010158. We observe that its period is five. The decimal expansion of sqrt(85) is A010536. (End)

FORMULA
From Johannes W. Meijer, Jun 12 2010: (Start)
a(5*n) = A099371(3*n+1), a(5*n+1) = (A099371(3*n+2)-A099371(3*n+1))/2, a(5*n+2) = (A099371(3*n+2)+A099371(3*n+1))/2, a(5*n+3):= A099371(3*n+2) and a(5*n+4) = A099371(3*n+3)/2. (End)
G.f.: -(x^8-4*x^7+5*x^6-9*x^5+41*x^4+9*x^3+5*x^2+4*x+1) / (x^10+756*x^5-1). - Colin Barker, Nov 11 2013
a(n) = 756*a(n-5) + a(n-10). - Vincenzo Librandi, Dec 12 2013
