Also called the 10-metallonacci sequence; the g.f. 1/(1-k*x-x^2) gives the k-metallonacci sequence.
a(n+1) is the number of tilings of an n-board (a board with dimensions n X 1) using unit squares and dominoes (with dimensions 2 X 1) if there are 10 kinds of squares available. (End)

FORMULA
G.f.: 1/(1 - 10*x - x^2).
a(n) = 10*a(n-1) + a(n-2), n>=1; a(-1):=0, a(0)=1.
a(n) = S(n, 10*i)*(-i)^n where i^2:=-1 and S(n, x)=U(n, x/2) Chebyshev's polynomials of the second kind. See A049310.
a(n) = (ap^(n+1) - am^(n+1))/(ap-am) with ap = 5+sqrt(26), am = -1/ap = 5-sqrt(26).
a(n) = F(n+1, 10), the (n+1)-th Fibonacci polynomial evaluated at x=10. - T. D. Noe, Jan 19 2006
a(n) = Sum_{i=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n-i,i)*10^(n-2*i). - Sergio Falcon, Sep 24 2007
