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)=(2/9)*Sum(r, 1, 8, Sin(r*Pi/3)^2(2Cos(r*Pi/9))^(2n)) a(n)=6a(n-1)-9a(n-2)+a(n-3) G.f.: (-1+4x-3x^2)/(-1+6x-9x^2+x^3)
