Formula

G.f.: (1-x)*(1-x^3)/(1-x^5).

a(n) = A105367(n)-A105367(n-1).

a(n) = (1/2-sqrt(5)/10)*cos(4*Pi*n/5)-sqrt(1/2+sqrt(5)/10)*sin(4*Pi*n/5)+(1/2+sqrt(5)/10)*cos(2*Pi*n/5)-sqrt(1/2-sqrt(5)/10)*sin(2*Pi*n/5).

From R. J. Mathar, Jul 29 2010: (Start)

a(n) = -a(n-1) -a(n-2) -a(n-3) -a(n-4), n>4.

G.f.: (1-x)*(1+x+x^2)/(1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4).

a(n) = b(2*n + 1) where b() is multiplicative with b(2^e) = b(5^e) = 0^e, b(p^e) = 1 if p == 1, 9 (mod 10), b(p^e) = (-1)^e if p == 3, 7 (mod 10). - Michael Somos, Jun 16 2015
