A113107
Number of 5-tournament sequences: a(n) gives the number of increasing sequences of n positive integers (t_1,t_2,...,t_n) such that t_1 = 1 and t_i = 1 (mod 4) and t_{i+1} <= 5*t_i for 1<i<n.

Equals column 0 of triangle A113106 which satisfies recurrence: A113106(n,k) = [A113106^5](n-1,k-1) + [A113106^5](n-1,k), where A113106^5 is the matrix 5th power.

EXAMPLE
The tree of 5-tournament sequences of descendents
of a node labeled (1) begins:
[1]; generation 1: 1->[5]; generation 2: 5->[9,13,17,21,25]; ...
Then a(n) gives the number of nodes in generation n.
Also, a(n+1) = sum of labels of nodes in generation n.
