Let u(k), v(k), w(k) be the 3 sequences defined by u(1)=1, v(1)=0, w(1)=0 and u(k+1)=u(k)+v(k)-w(k), v(k+1)=u(k)-v(k)+w(k), w(k+1)=-u(k)+v(k)+w(k); let M(k)=Max(u(k),v(k),w(k)); then a(n)=M(2n)=M(2n-1) - Benoit Cloitre, Mar 25 2002

Also the number of words of length 2n generated by the two letters s and t that reduce to the identity 1 by using the relations ssssss=1, tt=1 and stst=1. The generators s and t along with the three relations generate the dihedral group D6=C2xD3. - Jamaine Paddyfoot and John Layman (jay_paddyfoot(AT)hotmail.com/layman(AT)math.vt.edu), Jul 08 2002

Binomial transform of A025192. - Paul Barry, Apr 11 2003

Number of walks of length 2n+1 between two adjacent vertices in the cycle graph C_6. Example: a(1)=3 because in the cycle ABCDEF we have three walks of length 3 between A and B: ABAB, ABCB and AFAB. - Emeric Deutsch, Apr 01 2004

Let A be the Hessenberg matrix of order n, defined by: A[1,j]=1, A[i,i]:=-6, (i>1), A[i,i-1]=-1, and A[i,j]=0 otherwise. Then, for n>=1, a(n-1)=(-1)^(n-1)*charpoly(A,2). [From Milan Janjic, Feb 21 2010]
