COMMENT

Coefficient of x^n in ((1-x^10)/((1-x^5)(1-x^2)(1-x)))^n. - Michael Somos, Sep 24 2003

Note that n divides a(n+1)-a(n). - T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Mar 16 2005

Terms that are not a multiple of 5 have zero density, namely, there are fewer than n^(log(4)/log(5)) such terms among A005191(1..n). In particular, A005191(5k+2) and A005191(5k+4) are multiples of 5 for every k. - Max Alekseyev (maxal(AT)cs.ucsd.edu), Apr 25 2005

FORMULA

a(n) = sum(k=0..[2n/5], binomial(n, k)*binomial(-n, 2n-5k) ); a(n) = (5^n + sum(j=1..2n-1, (sin(5j*Pi/(2n))/sin(j*Pi/(2n)))^n))/(2n) - 2. - Max Alekseyev (maxal(AT)cs.ucsd.edu), Mar 04 2005

PROGRAM

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<0, 0, polcoeff(((1-x^5)/(1-x)+x*O(x^(2*n)))^n, 2*n))

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<0, 0, polcoeff(((1-x^10)/((1-x^5)*(1-x^2)*(1-x))+x*O(x^n))^n, n))

(PARI) a(n) = sum(k=0, (2*n)\5, binomial(n, k)*binomial(-n, 2*n-5*k)) a(n) = round((5^n+sum(j=1, 2*n-1, (sin(5*Pi*j/2/n)/sin(Pi*j/2/n))^n))/2/n)-2 (Alekseyev)
