COMMENTS

With interpolated zeros this has a(n)=(6*0^n + 4^n + (-4)^n + 4*2^n + 4*(-2)^n)/16 and counts closed walks of length n at a vertex of the 4-cube [Typo corrected by Alexander R. Povolotsky, May 26 2008]

FORMULA

G.f.: (1-16*x+24*x^2)/((1-4*x)*(1-16*x)).

a(n) = 3*0^n/8+16^n/8+4^n/2.

E.g.f.: cosh^4(x).  O.g.f.: 1/(1-4*1*x/(1-3*2*x/(1-2*3*x/(1-1*4*x)))) (continued fraction). - Peter Bala, Nov 13 2006

(-1)^n*a(n)=Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n} A086872(n,k)*(-5)^(n-k). - Philippe DELEHAM, Aug 17 2007

a(0)=1, a(1)=4, a(2)=40, a(n)=20*a(n-1)-64*a(n-2) [From Harvey P. Dale, Aug 23 2011]
