COMMENTS

In general 2^n/m*Sum_{r=0..m-1} Cos(2Pi*k*r/m)Cos(2Pi*r/m)^n is the number of walks of length n between two nodes at distance k in the cycle graph C_m. Here we have m=10 and k=2.

Equals INVERT transform of A014138: (1, 3, 8, 22, 64, 196,...). [From Gary W. Adamson, May 15 2009]

LINKS

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..23.

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (7,-13,4)

FORMULA

a(n)= 4^n/10*Sum_{r=0..9} Cos(2Pi*r/5)Cos(Pi*r/5)^(2n).

a(n)= 7a(n-1)-13a(n-2)+4a(n-3).

G.f.: (-x+3x^2)/((-1+4x)(1-3x+x^2))

a(n) = (4^n + Lucas(2n-1))/5. With a(0) = 0, binomial transform of A098703. - Ross La Haye, May 31 2006
