COMMENTS

In general a(n)= 2/m*Sum(r,1,m-1,Sin(r*j*Pi/m)Sin(r*k*Pi/m)(2Cos(r*Pi/m))^(2n)) counts (s(0), s(1), ..., s(2n)) such that 0 < s(i) < m and |s(i)-s(i-1)| = 1 for i = 1,2,....,2n, s(0) = j, s(2n) = k.

FORMULA

a(n)=(1/4)*Sum(r, 1, 7, Sin(3*r*Pi/8)^2(2Cos(r*Pi/8))^(2n)) a(n)= 6a(n-1)-10a(n-2)+4a(n-3), n>=4 G.f.: (-3+10x-6x^2)/(4(2x-1)(1-4x+2x^2))
