COMMENTS

Form the graph with matrix A=[0,1,1,1;1,1,0,0;1,0,1,0;1,0,0,1]. A052533 counts closed walks of length n at the vertex without loop. - Paul Barry, Oct 02 2004

Let M = [0, sqrt(3); sqrt(3), 1] be a 2X2 matrix. Then A052533={[M^n]_(1,1)}. Note also that {[M^n]_(2,2)}=A006130. -- L. Edson Jeffery, Nov 25, 2011.

FORMULA

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

a(n) = A006130(n)-A006130(n-1).

Recurrence: {a(1)=0, a(0)=1, 3*a(n)+a(n+1)-a(n+2)=0}.

Sum(1/13*(-1+7*_alpha)*_alpha^(-1-n), _alpha=RootOf(-1+_Z+3*_Z^2)).

a(n) = sum{k=0..floor(n/2), C(n-k-1,n-2k)*3^k}. [From Paul Barry, Mar 16 2010]

If p[1]=0, and p[i]=3, (i>1), and if A is Hessenberg matrix of order n defined by: A[i,j]=p[j-i+1], (i<=j), A[i,j]=-1, (i=j+1), and A[i,j]=0 otherwise. Then, for n>=1, a(n)=det A. [From Milan R. Janjic, Apr 29 2010]

a(n) = (1/2)*{[(1/2)*(1-*sqrt(13))]^n+[(1/2)*(1+*sqrt(13))]^n}+(1/26)*sqrt(13*{[(1/2)*(1-*sqrt(13))]^n)-[(1/2)*(1+*sqrt(13))]^n}, with n>=0. [From Paolo P. Lava, May 10 2010]
