The hendecagon is an 11-sided polygon. The preferred word in the OEIS is 11-gon.
The lengths of the diagonals of the regular 11-gon are r[k] = sin(k*Pi/11)/sin(Pi/11), 1 <= k <= 5, where r[1] = 1 is the length of the edge.
The value of limit(a(n)/a(n-1),n=infinity) equals the longest diagonal r[5].
The a(n) equal the matrix elements M^n[1,2], where M = Matrix([[1,1,1,1,1], [1,1,1,1,0], [1,1,1,0,0], [1,1,0,0,0], [1,0,0,0,0]]). The characteristic polynomial of M is (x^5 - 3x^4 - 3x^3 + 4x^2 + x - 1) with roots x1 = -r[4]/r[3], x2 = -r[2]/r[4], x3 = r[1]/r[2], x4 = r[3]/r[5] and x5 = r[5]/r[1].
Note that M^4*[1,0,0,0,0] = [55, 50, 41, 29, 15] which are all terms of the 5-wave sequence A038201. This is also the case for the terms of M^n*[1,0,0,0,0], n>=1.

Examples

			From _Johannes W. Meijer_, Aug 03 2011: (Start)
The lengths of the regular hendecagon edge and diagonals are:
  r[1] = 1.000000000, r[2] = 1.918985948, r[3] = 2.682507066,
  r[4] = 3.228707416, r[5] = 3.513337092.
The first few rows of the T(n,k) array are, n>=1, 1 <= k <=5:
    0,   0,   0,   0,   1, ...
    1,   1,   1,   1,   1, ...
    1,   2,   3,   4,   5, ...
    5,   9,  12,  14,  15, ...
