COMMENT

In general a(n)= (2/m)*Sum(r,1,m-1,Sin(r*j*Pi/m)Sin(r*k*Pi/m)(2Cos(r*Pi/m))^(2n+1)) counts (s(0), s(1), ..., s(2n+1)) such that 0 < s(i) < m and |s(i)-s(i-1)| = 1 for i = 1,2,....,2n+1, s(0) = j, s(2n+1) = k.

a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - 9*a(n-2) + a(n-3). Example: a(7) = 1548 = 6*a(6) - 9*a(5) + a(4) = 6*417 - 9*109 + 27. - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), May 29 2008

a(n)/a(n-1) tends to 3.53208888...; = (2 + 2*Cos 2Pi/9). - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), May 29 2008

FORMULA

a(n)=(2/9)*Sum(r, 1, 8, Sin(r*Pi/9)Sin(2*r*Pi/3)(2Cos(r*Pi/9))^(2n)) a(n)=6a(n-1)-9a(n-2)+a(n-3) G.f.: x^2/(1-6x+9x^2-x^3)
