%N Expansion of g.f. 5*(1-3*x+x^2)/(1-5*x+5*x^2).
%C Let A be the unit-primitive matrix (see [Jeffery])
%C A=A_(10,1)=
%C (0 1 0 0 0)
%C (1 0 1 0 0)
%C (0 1 0 1 0)
%C (0 0 1 0 1)
%C (0 0 0 2 0).
%C Then a(n) = Trace(A^(2*n)).
%C Evidently one of a class of accelerator sequences for Catalan's constant based on traces of successive powers (here they are A^(2*n)) of a unit-primitive matrix A_(N,r) (0<r<floor(N/2)) and for which the closed-form expression for a(n) is derived from the eigenvalues of A_(N,r).
%C From _Tom Copeland_, Dec 08 2015: (Start)
%C These are also the non-vanishing traces for the adjacency matrices of the simple Lie algebras B_5 and C_5. See links for B_4, A265185, and B_3, A025192.
%C a(n+1) = 10 * A081567(n), and, ignoring a(0), a G.F. is 10 *(1-2*x)/(1-5*x+5*x^2) whose denominator is y^5 * A127672(5,1/y) with y = sqrt(x).
%C -log(1 - 5x^2 + 5x^4) = 10 x^2/2 + 30 x^4/4 + ... provides a logarithmic series for the traces of both the odd and even powers of the matrix beginning with the first power. (End)
