FORMULA

(4.791287...)^n = A090458 * A004254(n) + A004253(n). - Gary W. Adamson, Sep 11 2023

Equals lim_{n->oo} S(n, 5)/S(n-1, 5), with the S-Chebyshev polynomial (see A049310) S(n, 5) = A004254(n+1). - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 15 2023

c^k = A004254(k)*c - A004254(k-1) for k >= 1, where c is the present constant. - Andrea Pinos, Jul 19 2024
