{A289306, A289321, A289387, A289388, A289389} is the difference analog of the trigonometric functions {k_1(x), k_2(x), k_3(x), k_4(x), k_5(x)} of order 5. For the definitions of {k_i(x)} and the difference analog {K_i (n)} see [Erdelyi] and the first Shevelev link respectively.
From Robert Israel, Jul 11 2017: (Start)
a(n)=0 for n == 9 (mod 10).
A112765(a(10*k)) = (5/2)*k - 3/4 - (-1)^k/4.
A112765(a(10*k+2)) = (5/2)*k - 1/4 + (-1)^k/4.
A112765(a(10*k+3)) = A112765(a(10*k+4)) = (5/2)*k + 1/4 - (-1)^k/4.
A112765(a(10*k+5)) = A112765(a(10*k+6)) = (5/2)*k + 3/4 + (-1)^k/4.
A112765(a(10*k+7)) = A112765(a(10*k+8)) = (5/2)*k + 5/4 - (-1)^k/4. (End)
Note that from author's formula (see below) we have that, except for zeros in the sequence mentioned by Robert Israel, there are only a(0) = a(1) = 0. Indeed, otherwise for some value of n we should have the equality (phi-1)^n = -cos(Pi*(n-4)/10)/cos(3*Pi*(n-4)/10). However, the absolute value of the right hand side takes the six distinct values only: 1, phi, phi^2, phi^(-1), phi^(-2), 1/3 (the last value we have when n == 9 (mod 10), since lim_{x->Pi/2}cos(x)/cos(3*x)= -1/3). Thus for n>=3, we have (phi-1)^n = phi^(-n) < |cos(Pi*(n-4)/10)/cos(3*Pi*(n-4)/10)|. - Vladimir Shevelev, Jul 15 2017

G.f.: -((-1+x)^2*x^2)/((-1+x)^5 - x^5). - Peter J. C. Moses, Jul 05 2017
For n>=1, a(n) = (2/5)*(phi+2)^(n/2)*(cos(Pi*(n-4)/10) + (phi-1)^n*cos(3* Pi*(n-4)/10)), where phi is the golden ratio.
a(n+m) = a(n)*K_1(m) + K_2(n)*K_2(m) + K_1(n)*a(m) - K_5(n)*K_4(m) - K_4(n)*K_5(m), where K_1 is A289306, K_2 is A289321, K_4 is A289388, K_5 is A289389.
For every n>=1, the determinant of circulant matrix of order 5 (see [Wikipedia]) with the entries (-1)^(i-1)* K_i(n), i=1..5, is 0. Here K_1, K_2, K_4 and K_5 are the same as in the previous formula, while K_3(n) = a(n). For a proof and a generalization see the second Shevelev link that also contains two unsolved problems. - Vladimir Shevelev, Jul 26 2017
