COMMENT

A conjectured asymptotic behavior for the mean Manhattan displacement lim n-> infinity a(n)/(A046661(n)*n^(3/4))=constant is illustrated in "Asymptotic Behavior of Mean Manhattan Displacement" at first link

FORMULA

a(n)= sum k=1, A046661(n) (|i_k| + |j_k|) where (i_k, j_k) are the end points of all different self-avoiding n-step walks.

EXAMPLE

a(3)=23 because 2 of the A046661(3)=9 walks end at Manhattan distance 1: (0,-1),(0,1) and 7 walks end at Manhattan distance 3: (1,-2),(1,2),2*(2,-1),2*(2,1),(3,0); a(3)=2*1+7*3=23 See also "Distribution of end point distance" at first link
