COMMENTS
G.f. equals the ratio of the g.f.s of any two adjacent diagonals of triangle A100235.
a(n) is the number of compositions of n when there are 4 types of 1 and 5 types of other natural numbers. - Milan Janjic, Aug 13 2010

FORMULA
a(n) = 5*a(n-1) + a(n-2) for n>1, with a(0)=1, a(1)=4.
G.f.: (1-x)/(1-5*x-x^2).
Numerators in continued fraction [1, 4, 5, 5, 5, ...]. Continued fraction [1, 4, 5, 5, 5, ...] = 0.807417596433..., the inradius of a right triangle with legs 2 and 5. n-th convergent (n>0) to [1, 4, 5, 5, 5, ...] = A100237(n)/A052918(n), the first few being 1/1, 4/5, 21/26, 109/135, ... - Gary W. Adamson, Dec 21 2007
If p[1]=4, p[i]=5, (i>1), and if A is Hessenberg matrix of order n defined by: A[i,j]=p[j-i+1], (i<=j), A[i,j]=-1, (i=j+1), and A[i,j]=0 otherwise. Then, for n >= 1, a(n)=det A. - Milan Janjic, Apr 29 2010
a(n) = (2^(-1-n)*((5-sqrt(29))^n*(-3+sqrt(29)) + (3+sqrt(29))*(5+sqrt(29))^n))/sqrt(29). - Colin Barker, Oct 13 2015
