Alternatively, the sum of the (n+1)-th powers of the roots of the corresponding characteristic polynomial: -x^3 + 2x^2 + x -1 = 0. a(n) = A006356(n) + A006356(n-1) + 2*A006356(n-2)/ where A006356 = 1, 3, 6, 14, 31, 70, 157... E.g. a(3) = 26 = the trace of M^4. The characteristic polynomial of this matrix (see A066170) is -x^3 + x^2 + x -1 and the roots are 2.24697960372..., -.8019377358...and .55495813208...= a, b, c. Then Sum(a^4 + b^4 + c^4) = 26. - Gary W.
