COMMENT

These pentanacci numbers follow the same pattern as Lucas, generalized tribonacci(A001644) and generalized tetranacci (A73817) numbers: Binet's formula is a(n)=r1^n+r^2^n+r3^n+r4^n+r5^n, with r1, r2, r3, r4, r5 roots of the characteristic polynomial. a(n) is also the trace of A^n, where A is the pentamatrix ((1,1,0,0,0),(1,0,1,0,0),(1,0,0,1,0),(1,0,0,0,1),(1,0,0,0,0)).
