%N q-Bell numbers for q=5; eigensequence of A022169, which is the triangle of Gaussian binomial coefficients [n,k] for q=5.

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} A022169(n-1,k) * a(k) for n>0, with a(0)=1.

%e The recurrence: a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} A022169(n-1,k) * a(k)

%e is illustrated by:

%e a(2) = 1*(1) + 6*(1) + 1*(2) = 9;

%e a(3) = 1*(1) + 31*(1) + 31*(2) + 1*(9) = 103;

%e a(4) = 1*(1) + 156*(1) + 806*(2) + 156*(9) + 1*(103) = 3276.
