%C From _Gary W. Adamson_, Mar 14 2009: (Start)

%C M^n * [1,0,0,0,0] = [A139398(n), A139761(n), A139748(n), A139714(n), a(n)]

%C 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]

%C Sum of terms = 2^n. Example: M^6 * [1,0,0,0,0] = [7, 15, 20, 15, 7] = 2^6 = 64. (End)

%C {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
