From Gary W. Adamson, Mar 14 2009: (Start)
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 = [7, 15, 20, 15, 7], sum = 2^6 = 64. (End)

FORMULA
G.f.: -x^2*(x-1)^2/((2*x-1)*(x^4-2*x^3+4*x^2-3*x+1)). - Maksym Voznyy (voznyy(AT)mail.ru), Aug 12 2009
a(n) = round((2/5)*(2^(n-1)+phi^n*cos(Pi*(n-4)/5))), where phi is the golden ratio, round(x) is the integer nearest to x. - Vladimir Shevelev, Jun 18 2017
a(n+m) = a(n)*H_1(m) + H_2(n)*H_2(m) + H_1(n)*a(m) + H_5(n)*H_4(m) + H_4(n)*H_5(m), where H_1=A139398, H_2=A133476, H_4=A139748, H_5=A139761. - Vladimir Shevelev, Jun 18 2017
