%N A102081 Number of perfect matchings in the C_n X P_2 graph (C_n is the cycle
graph on n vertices and P_2 is the path graph on 2 vertices).
%C A102081 a(n)=A102079(n,n).

for dimer statistics. Application of operator technique on the topological
index to two- and three-dimensional rectangular and torus lattices,
J. Math. Physics 26 (1985) 157-167 (eq. (21) and Table IV).
%F A102081 G.f.=z^2*(5-z-5z^2-z^3)/[(1+z)(1-2z+z^3)]. a(n)=a(n-1)+2a(n-2)-a(n-3)-a(n-4)
for n >= 6.
%e A102081 Example: a(3)=4 because in the graph with vertex set {A,B,C,A',B',C'}
and edge set {AB,AC,BC, A'B',A'C',B'C',AA',BB',CC'} we have the following
perfect matchings: {AA',BC,B'C'},{BB',AC,A'C'}, {CC',AB,A'B'}} and
{AA',BB',CC'}.
