%F From _Vladimir Shevelev_, Jun 17 2017: (Start)

%F a(n) = round((2/5)*(2^(n-1) + phi^n*cos(Pi*n/5))), where phi is the golden ratio and round(x) is the integer nearest to x.

%F The formula follows from the identity a(n)=1/5*Sum_{j=1..5}((omega_5)^j + 1)^n, where omega_5=exp(2*Pi*i)/5 (cf. Theorem 1 of [Shevelev] link for i=1, n=5, m:=n). Further note that for a=cos(x)+i*sin(x), a+1 = 2*cos ^2 (x/2) + i*sin(x), and for the argument y of a+1 we have tan(y)=tan(x/2) and r^2 = 4*cos^4(x/2) + sin^2(x) = 4*cos^2(x/2). So (a+1)^n = (2*cos(x /2))^n*(cos(n*x/2) + i*sin(n*x/2)). Using this, for x=2*Pi/5, we have (omega_5+1)^n = phi^n(cos(Pi*n/5) + i*sin(Pi*n/5)). Since (omega_5)^4+1=(1+omega_5)/omega_5, we easily find that ((omega_5)^4+1)^n is conjugate to (omega_5+1)^n. So (omega_5+1)^n+((omega_5)^4+1)^n = phi^n*cos(Pi*n/5). Further, we similarly obtain that (omega_5)^2+1 is conjugate to (omega_5) ^3+1=(1+(omega_5)^2)/(omega_5)^2 and ((omega_5)^2+1)^n +((omega_5)^3+1)^n = 2*(sqrt(2-phi))^n*cos(2*Pi*n/5). The absolute value of the latter <= 2*(2-phi)^(n/2) and quickly tends to 0. Finally, ((omega_5)^5+1)^n=2^n, and the formula follows. (End)
