FORMULA
a(n) = A138986(n+1) - A138986(n).
O.g.f.= -(-1-x-x^2-x^3-8*x^4+2*x^9)/((x-1)^2*(x^4+x^3+x^2+x+1)^2). - R. J. Mathar, Apr 20 2008
a(n) = 2*a(n-5) - a(n-10). - R. J. Mathar, Apr 20 2008
a(n)= (1/5)*n*x(5+mod(n,5))-(1/5)*mod(n,5)*x(5+mod(n,5))+x(mod(n,5))-(1/5)*n*x(mod(n,5))+(1/5) *mod(n,5)*x(mod(n,5)). - Alexander R. Povolotsky, Apr 20 2008
