COMMENT

The characteristic polynomial is -5 x - 8 x^2 + 42 x^3 + 37 x^4 - 19 x^5 - 23 x^6 + 5 x^7 + 4 x^8 - x^9.

The largest root of the polynomial is 3.23322.

The value of the associated matrix game is zero.

FORMULA

M = {{0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0}, {1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1}, {1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1}, {1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0}, {0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 2}}; v[0] = {1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1}; v[n_] := v[n] = M.v[n - 1]; a(n) = Sum[v[n][[i]],{i,1,9}]

a(n)= 4*a(n-1) +5*a(n-2) -23*a(n-3) -19*a(n-4) +37*a(n-5) +42*a(n-6) -8*a(n-7) -5*a(n-8). G.f.: -x*(-3+x+25*x^2+10*x^3-51*x^4-51*x^5+10*x^6+11*x^7) / (1-4*x-5*x^2+23*x^3+ 19*x^4-37*x^5-42*x^6+8*x^7+5*x^8). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Aug 12 2009]
