Comments

Let (C_5 tensor J_2) be the 10 node graph whose adjacency matrix is the tensor product of that of C_5 and J_2=[1,1;1,1]. Then a(n) counts walks of length n between adjacent vertices of this graph.

Formula

G.f.: x(1-2x)/((1-4x)(1+2x-4x^2)); a(n)=2a(n-1)+12a(n-2)-16a(n-3); a(n)=(sqrt(5)-1)^(n+1)/20-(sqrt(5)+1)^(n+1)(-1)^n/20+4^n/10; a(n)=sum{k=0..n, sqrt(5)((sqrt(5)-1)^k/10-(-sqrt(5)-1)^k/10)(4^(n-k)+0^(n-k))/2}.
