COMMENTS

In general a(n,m)=2^n/m*Sum_{k=0..m-1} Cos(2Pi*k/m)^(n+1) counts walks of length n between two adjacent nodes in the cycle graph C_m.

FORMULA

a(n)=2^n/7*Sum_{k=0..6} Cos(2Pi*k/7)^(n+1)

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

MATHEMATICA

f[n_] := FullSimplify[ TrigToExp[ 2^n/7 Sum[ Cos[2Pi*k/7]^(n + 1), {k, 0, 6}]]]; Table[ f[n], {n, 0, 34}] (from Robert G. Wilson v Jun 01 2004)

CROSSREFS

Equals A095307(n+1) - A095308(n-1).
