COMMENTS

Form the graph with matrix A=[1,1,1,1;1,0,0,0;1,0,0,0;1,0,0,1]. Then the sequence 1,1,2,4,... with g.f. (1-x-2x^2)/(1-2x-2x^2+2x^3) counts closed walks of length n at the degree 3 vertex. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Oct 02 2004

Index to sequences with linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (2,2,-2).

FORMULA

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

Recurrence: {a(0)=1, a(2)=4, a(1)=2, 2*a(n)-2*a(n+1)-2*a(n+2)+a(n+3)=0}

Sum(1/37*(6+7*_alpha+4*_alpha^2)*_alpha^(-1-n), _alpha=RootOf(2*_Z^3-2*_Z^2-2*_Z+1))

MAPLE

spec := [S, {S=Sequence(Union(Prod(Sequence(Prod(Union(Z, Z), Z)), Z), Z))}, unlabeled ]: seq(combstruct[count ](spec, size=n), n=0..20);
