COMMENTS

In general 2^n/m*Sum_{r=0..m-1} Cos(2Pi*k*r/m)Cos(2Pi*r/m)^n is the number of walks of length n between two nodes at distance k in the cycle graph C_m. Here we have m=10 and k=0.

The number of round trips of odd length is zero. See the array w(N,L) and triangle a(K,N) given in A199571 for the general case. - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 08 2011

FORMULA

a(n)= 4^n/10*Sum_{r=0..9} Cos(Pi*r/5)^(2n); a(n)=7a(n-1)-13a(n-2)+4a(n-3);

G.f.: (-1+5x-5x^2)/((-1+4x)(1-3x+x^2)).

a(n/2) = ( 2^n +2*phi^n +2*(phi-1)^n )*(1+(-1)^n)/10, with the golden section phi = A001622. - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 08 2011

EXAMPLE

a(2)=6 from the six round trips from ,say, vertex no. 1: 12121, 1(10)1(10)1, 121(10)1, 1(10)121, 12321 and 1(10)9(10)1. - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 08 2011
