Any diagonal entry of the matrix A^n is one of the four complex numbers (+ or -)(X/5^n)(+ or -)(Y/(5^n)i). Then a(n) is the X in [A^n]_(j,j), j=1, 2,3,4. - Simone Severini (ss54(AT)york.ac.uk), Apr 28 2004 %C A066771 Related to the (3,4,5) Pythagorean triple. Each unsigned term represents a leg in a Pythagorean triple in which the hypotenuse = 5^n. E.g. (3 + 4i)^3 = (-117 + 44i), considered as two legs of a triangle, hypotenuse = 125 = 5^3. - Gary W.
