%N Generalized Fibonacci numbers: a(n) = a(n-1) + 8*a(n-2).

%C Construct a graph as follows: form the graph whose adjacency matrix is the tensor product of that of P_3 and [1,1;1,1], then add a loop at each of the extremity nodes. a(n-1) counts walks of length n between adjacent nodes. - _Paul Barry_, Nov 12 2004

%C The compositions of n in which each natural number is colored by one of p different colors are called p-colored compositions of n. For n >= 2, 9*a(n-2) equals the number of 9-colored compositions of n with all parts >= 2, such that no adjacent parts have the same color. - _Milan Janjic_, Nov 26 2011
