COMMENT

Number of walks of length 2n+1 along the edges of a cube between two opposite vertices.

FORMULA

G.f.: (3/4)*1/(1-9*x)-(3/4)/(1-x).

sin(x)^3 = sum k=0, 1, ... (-1)^(k+1) * x^(2k+1)/(2k+1)! * a(k) - Dan Fux (dan.fux(AT)OpenGaia.com or danfux(AT)OpenGaia.com), Apr 08 2001

a(n) = A015518(2n+1)-1 = (A046717(2n+1)-1)/2. - M. F. Hasler, Mar 20 2008

a(n)=9*a(n-1)+6 (with a(1)=0) [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Oct 31 2009]

EXAMPLE

For n=2, a(2)=9*0+6=6; n=3, a(3)=9*6+6=60; n=4, a(4)=9*60+6=546 [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Oct 31 2009]

CROSSREFS

{a(n)/6} for n>0 is A002452.
