a(n+1) = Y_{n}(n+1) = Z_{n}, n >= 0, in the Derrida et al. 1992 reference (see A064094) for alpha=5, beta =1 (or alpha=1, beta=5).

FORMULA
G.f.: (1+5*x*c(5*x)/4)/(1+x/4) = 1/(1-x*c(5*x)) with c(x) g.f. of Catalan numbers A000108.
a(n)= Sum_{m=0..n-1} (n-m)*binomial(n-1+m, m)*(5^m)/n.
a(n) = (-1/4)^n*(1 - 5*Sum_{k=0..n-1} C(k)*(-20)^k, n >= 1, a(0) := 1; with C(n)=A000108(n) (Catalan).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A059365(n, k)*5^(n-k). - Philippe Deléham, Jan 19 2004
From Gary W. Adamson, Jul 18 2011: (Start)
a(n) = upper left term in M^n, M = an infinite square production matrix as follows:
1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...
5, 5, 5, 0, 0, 0, ...
5, 5, 5, 5, 0, 0, ...
5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 0, ...
5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, ...
... (End)
Conjecture: 4*n*a(n) +(-79*n+120)*a(n-1) +10*(-2*n+3)*a(n-2)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Jun 07 2013
a(n) ~ 4^n * 5^(n+1) / (81*sqrt(Pi)*n^(3/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 10 2019
