Shares many elements with A103311, as already indicated by the similarity of the two generating functions. First differences are essentially in A105371. - R. J. Mathar, May 02 2008
The longer of the two recurrences ensures that the sequence (like A133476) equals its 5th differences. - R. J. Mathar, May 02 2008

FORMULA
From R. J. Mathar, May 02 2008: (Start)
O.g.f.: (x^2-x+1)/(x^4-2*x^3+4*x^2-3*x+1).
a(n) = 5a(n-1)-10a(n-2)+10a(n-3)-5a(n-4)+2a(n-5).
a(n) = 3a(n-1)-4a(n-2)+2a(n-3)-a(n-4). (End)
