a(n+1)/a(n) converges to (5+sqrt(26)) =10.099019... a(0)/a(1)=1/5; a(1)/a(2)=5/51; a(2)/a(3)=51/515; a(3)/a(4)=515/5201; ... etc. Lim a(n)/a(n+1) as n approaches infinity = 0.099019... = 1/(5+sqrt(26)) = (sqrt(26)-5).

a(n) = 10a(n-1) + a(n-2), starting with a(0) = 1 and a(1) = 5. a(n) = a(n) = ((5+sqrt(26))^n + (5-sqrt(26))^n)/2. a(n) = A086927(n)/2

E.g.f. : exp(5x)cosh(sqrt(26)x); a(n)=sum{k=0..floor(n/2), C(n, 2k)26^k5^(n-2k)}. a(n)=T(n, 5i)(-i)^n with T(n, x) Chebyshev's polynomials of the first kind (see A053120) and i^2=-1. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Nov 15 2003

a(4) = 5201 = 10a(3) + a(2) = 10*515 + 51 = ((5+sqrt(26))^4 + (5-sqrt(26))^4)/2 = (10401.999903 + 0.000097)/2 = 5201.
