FORMULA
From Chai Wah Wu, Jun 10 2016: (Start)
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-5) - a(n-6) for n > 6.
G.f.: x^2*(x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + 3*x + 2)/(x^6 - x^5 - x + 1). (End)
From Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jul 28 2016: (Start)
a(n) = a(n-5) + 8 for n > 5.
a(n) = (40*n - 20 + 3*(n mod 5) + 3*((n+1) mod 5) - 7*((n+2) mod 5) - 2*((n+3) mod 5) + 3*((n+4) mod 5))/25.
a(5k) = 8k-1, a(5k-1) = 8k-2, a(5k-2) = 8k-3, a(5k-3) = 8k-6, a(5k-4) = 8k-8. (End)
