COMMENTS
The recurrence shows that the sequence and its successive differences are identical to their fifth differences (see A135356).
FORMULA
a(n+1)-2*a(n) = 4*A105371(n-1) = 4*A138110(4,n).
a(n) = 5*a(n-1)-10*a(n-2)+10*a(n-3)-5*a(n-4)+2*a(n-5).
G.f.: (1+x-4*x^2+6*x^3+x^4)/((1-2*x)*(x^4-2*x^3+4*x^2-3*x+1)).
