COMMENT

Number of walks of length n between any two distinct nodes of the complete graph K_8. Example: a(2)=6 because the walks of length 2 between the nodes A and B of the complete graph ABCDEFGH are: ACB, ADB, AEB, AFB, AGB and AHB. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Apr 01 2004

General form: k=7^n-k. Also: A001045, A078008, A097073, A115341, A015518, A054878, A015521, A109499, A015531, A109500, A109501 [From Vladimir Orlovsky (4vladimir(AT)gmail.com), Dec 11 2008]

FORMULA

a(n) = 6 a(n-1) + 7 a(n-2).

G.f.: x/(1-6x-7x^2). a(n)=7^(n-1)-a(n-1). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Apr 01 2004
