FORMULA

a(n)=sum k=1, A046661(n) ( i_k^2 + j_k^2 ) where (i_k, j_k) are the end points of all different self-avoiding n-step walks

EXAMPLE

Example: a(2)=8 because the A046661(2)=3 different self-avoiding 2-step walks end at (1,-1),(1,1)->d^2=2 and at (2,0)->d^2=4, so a(2) = 2*2 + 1*4 = 8 a(3)=41 because the end-points of the 9 different 3-step walks are: (0,-1),(0,1)->d^2=1, (1,-2),(1,2),(2,-1),(2,-1),(2,1),(2,1)->d^2=5, (3,0)->d^2=9. a(3) = 2*1 + 6*5 + 1*9 = 41 See also "Distribution of end point distance" at first link
