A124502 a(1)=a(2)=1; thereafter, a(n+1) = a(n) + a(n-1) + 1 if n is a multiple of 5, otherwise a(n+1) = a(n) + a(n-1). 4

COMMENTS
If we split this sequence into 5 separate sequences of n mod 5, each individual sequence is of the form a(n) = 12*a(n-1) - 10*a(n-2) - a(n-3). For example, 12*98 - 10*9 - 1 = 1085. This is the same recurrence exhibited in A138134 and the n mod 5 =0 sequence...5, 60, 670, 7435 is A138134.

FORMULA
O.g.f.: x/((1-x)*(x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + x + 1)*(1 - x - x^2)). - R. J. Mathar, May 30 2008
a(n+5) = a(n) + Fibonacci(n+5), n>5.
a(n) = 12*a(n-5) - 10*a(n-10) - a(n-15). - Gary Detlefs, Dec 10 2010
EXAMPLE
a(6) = a(5) + a(4) + 1 = 5 + 3 + 1 = 9 because n=5 is a multiple of 5.
a(7) = a(6) + a(5) = 9 + 5 = 14 because n=6 is not a multiple of 5.
