COMMENTS
Bennett-Wood et al. (1998) used the notation p_n(k) "for the numbers of SAPs of length n with k-nearest-neighbour contacts" and they calculated them up to n=42. (Here, SAP = self-avoiding polygon.) In Table A1 of their paper (pp. 4736-4737), they calculate p_n(k) for n = 4,6,..., 40, 42 (even only) and all possible k's. It turns out that for the current sequence a(m) = p_{2*m}(k=0) for m >= 1. (Thus, Table B1 of Bennett-Wood et al. (1998) has no entries for p_n(k) when n is odd.) - Petros Hadjicostas, Jan 05 2019
