COMMENT

Number of walks of length n between any two distinct vertices of the complete graph K_6. Example: a(2)=4 because the walks of length 2 between the vertices A and B of the complete graph ABCDEF are: ACB, ADB, AEB, and AFB. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Apr 01 2004

FORMULA

a(n)=5^n/6-(-1)^n/6. G.f.: x/((1-5x)(1+x)). E.g.f. (exp(5x)-exp(-x))/6. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Apr 20 2003

a(n)=sum{k=1..n, binomial(n, k)(-1)^(n+k)*6^(k-1) }. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), May 13 2003

a(n)=5^(n-1) - a(n-1). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Apr 01 2004
