Final digit of (2*n + 1)^(2*floor((n-1)/2) + 1) gives periodic sequence -> period 20: repeat [1,3,5,3,9,1,3,5,3,9,1,7,5,7,9,1,7,5,7,9], defined by the recurrence relation b(n) = b(n-2) - b(n-4) + b(n+5) + b(n+6) - b(n-7) - b(n-8) + b(n-9) - b(n-11) + b(n-13).

Formula

a(n) = (2*n + 1)^(n - 1 + (1 + (-1)^(n-1))/2).

a(n) = A005408(n)^A109613(n-1).

a(n) = (2*n + 1)^(n - 1/2 - (-1)^n/2). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Apr 10 2016

Example

a(0) =  1;
a(1) =  3^1 = 3;
a(2) =  5^1 = 5;
a(3) =  7^3 = 343;
a(4) =  9^3 = 729;
a(5) = 11^5 = 161051;
a(6) = 13^5 = 371293;
a(7) = 15^7 = 170859375;
a(8) = 17^7 = 410338673;
...
a(10000) = 1.644...*10^43006;
...
a(100000) = 8.235...*10^530097, etc.
