FORMULA
For n > 1, a(n) = 322*a(n-1) - a(n-2) + 45. See A200994 for generalization.
G.f.: 45*x / ((1-x)*(x^2-322*x+1)). - R. J. Mathar, Aug 10 2014
From Colin Barker, Mar 02 2016: (Start)
a(n) = (-18 + (9-4*sqrt(5))*(161+72*sqrt(5))^(-n) + (9+4*sqrt(5))*(161+72*sqrt(5))^n)/128.
a(n) = 323*a(n-1) - 323*a(n-2) + a(n-3) for n > 2. (End)
a(n) = 45*A298271(n). - Amiram Eldar, Dec 01 2024
EXAMPLE
4*0 = 5*0.
4*45 = 5*36.
4*14535 = 5*11628.
4*4680270 = 5*3744216.
