From Gary W. Adamson, Mar 14 2009: (Start)
M^n * [1,0,0,0,0] = [A139398(n), A139761(n), A139748(n), A139714(n), a(n)]
where M = a 5 X 5 matrix [1,1,0,0,0; 0,1,1,0,0; 0,0,1,1,0; 0,0,0,1,1; 1,0,0,0,1]
Sum of terms = 2^n. Example: M^6 * [1,0,0,0,0] = [7, 15, 20, 15, 7] = 2^6 = 64. (End)
{A139398, A133476, A139714, A139748, A139761} is the difference analog of the hyperbolic functions of order 5, {h_1(x), h_2(x), h_3(x), h_4(x), h_5 (x)}. For a definition see the reference "Higher Transcendental Functions" and the Shevelev link. - Vladimir Shevelev, Jun 18 2017

FORMULA
a(n) = 5a(n-1) - 10a(n-2) + 10a(n-3) - 5a(n-4) + 2a(n-5).
Sequence is identical to its fifth differences.
O.g.f.: x*(x-1)^3/((2*x-1)*(x^4-2*x^3+4*x^2-3*x+1)) = (1/5)*(3*x^3-7*x^2+6*x-1)/(x^4-2*x^3+4*x^2-3*x+1)-(1/5)/(2*x-1). - R. J. Mathar, Nov 30 2007
Starting (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, ...) = binomial transform of (1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 03 2008
a(n) = round((2/5)*(2^(n-1)+phi^n*cos(Pi*(n-2)/5))), where phi is the golden ratio, round(x) is the nearest to x integer. - Vladimir Shevelev, Jun 18 2017
a(n+m) = a(n)*H_1(m) + H_1(n)*H_2(m) + H_5(n)*H_3(m) + H_4(n)*H_4(m) + H_3(n)*H_5(m), where H_1=A139398, H_3=A139714, H_4=A139748, H_5=A139761. - Vladimir Shevelev, Jun 18 2017
