COMMENTS

Counts closed walks of length 2n+2 at a vertex of the cyclic graph on 8 nodes C_8.

The count of closed walks of odd length is zero. See the array w(N,L) and triangle a(K,N) given in A199571 for the general case. - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 08 2011

Number of monic irreducible polynomials of degree 1 in GF(2^n)[x,y]. - Max Alekseyev (maxale(AT)gmail.com), Jan 23 2006

a(n) written in base 2: a(-1) = 1, a(0) = 10, a(n) for n >= 1: 110, 10100, 1001000, 100010000, ..., i.e. number 1, (n-1) times 0, number 1, n times 0 (see A163664). a(n) for n >= 0 is duplicate of A161168. a(n) for n >= 0 is a bisection of A005418.

With offset 0 = binomial transform of A122983. [Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 18 2011]

FORMULA

a(n)=sum{k=0..n, if(mod(n-k, 4)=0, binomial(n, 2k), 0)}. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Sep 19 2005

a(n) = 4a(n-1)-2^n = 6a(n-1)-8a(n-2) = A001576(n)-1 = 2*A007582(n) = A005418(2n+2) = A002378(A000079(n)).

G.f.: 1/x + (2-6*x)/((1-2*x)*(1-4*x)).

a(n)=ceil(2^n*(2^n + 1)),n>=-1. - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Jan 07 2008

EXAMPLE

a(1)=6 counts six round trips from, say, vertex no 1: 12121, 18181, 12181, 18121, 12321 and 18781. - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 08 2011
