The a(n) represent the number of n-move paths of a chess king on a 3 X 3 board that end or start in the central square m (m = 5).

Inverse binomial transform of A090390 (without the first leading 1).

FORMULA

a(n)=(1/16)(4(-2)^(n+1)+(2+Sqrt[8])^(n+2)+(2-Sqrt[8])^(n+2))

Contribution from Johannes W. Meijer (meijgia(AT)hotmail.com), Aug 01 2010: (Start)

GF(x) = (1+6*x+4*x^2)/(1-2*x-12*x^2-8*x^3)

a(n) = 2*a(n-1)+12*a(n-2)+8*a(n-3) with a(0)=1, a(1)=8 and a(2)=32.

Limit(a(n+k)/a(k),k=infinity) = A084128(n) + 2*A057087(n-1)*sqrt(2)
