Consider the sequence formed by the final n decimal digits of {2^k: k >= 0}. For n=1 this is 1, 2, 4, 8, 6, 2, 4, ... (A000689) with period 4. For any n this is periodic with period a(n). Cf. A000855 (n=2), A126605 (n=3, also n=4). - N. J. A. Sloane, Jul 08 2022

For n>=1, a(n) is equal to the number of functions f:{1,2,...,n}->{1,2,3,4,5} such that for a fixed x in {1,2,...,n} and a fixed y in {1,2,3,4,5} we have f(x) != y. - Aleksandar M. Janjic and Milan Janjic, Mar 27 2007
Equals INVERT transform of A033887: (1, 3, 13, 55, 233, ...) and INVERTi transform of A001653: (1, 5, 29, 169, 985, 5741, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 22 2010
a(n) = (n+1) terms in the sequence (1, 3, 4, 4, 4, ...) dot (n+1) terms in the sequence (1, 1, 4, 20, 100, ...). Example: a(4) = 500 = (1, 3, 4, 4, 4) dot (1, 1, 4, 20, 100) = (1 + 3 + 16, + 80 + 400), where (1, 3, 16, 80, 400, ...) = A055842, finite differences of A005054 terms. - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 03 2010
a(n) is the number of compositions of n when there are 4 types of each natural number. - Milan Janjic, Aug 13 2010
Apart from the first term, number of monic squarefree polynomials over F_5 of degree n. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Feb 07 2012
For positive integers that can be either of two colors (designated by ' or ''), a(n) is the number of compositions of 2n that are cardinal palindromes; that is, palindromes that only take into account the cardinality of the numbers and not their colors. Example: 3', 2'', 1', 1, 2', 3'' would count as a cardinal palindrome. - Gregory L. Simay, Mar 01 2020
a(n) is the length of the period of the sequence Fibonacci(k) (mod 5^(n-1)) (for n>1) and the length of the period of the sequence Lucas(k) (mod 5^n) (Kramer and Hoggatt, 1972). - Amiram Eldar, Feb 02 2022

This process produces a family of similar sequences when using different constant multipliers. See crossrefs below.

Examples

			For n = 2, we begin with 1, iteratively multiply by 4 and count the number of terms before the last 2 digits begin to repeat. We obtain 1, 4, 16, 64, 256, 1024, 4096, 16384, 65536, 262144, 1048576, ... . The next term is 4194304, which repeats the last 2 digits 04. Thus, the number of distinct terms is a(2) = 11.

Formula

a(n) = t + k, where t = A004526(n+1) and k = A020699(n), since 4^t == 4^(t+k) (mod 10^n). Here, t is the "transient" portion and k = ord_5^n(4), the multiplicative order of 4 modulo 5^n, is the period of the orbit. - Michael S. Branicky, Apr 22 2023
