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+1)) counts (s(0), s(1), ..., s(2n+1)) such that 0 < s(i) < m and |s(i)-s(i-1)| = 1 for i = 1,2,....,2n+1, s(0) = j, s(2n+1) = k.

FORMULA

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