COMMENTS

a(n) is also the permanent of the n-by-n matrix that has ones on its diagonal, ones on its three superdiagonals (with the exception of a zero in the (1,4)-entry), ones on its three subdiagonals (with the exception of zeroes in the (3,1) and (4,1)-entries), and is zero elsewhere.

This is row 10 of Klove's Table 3.

FORMULA

Contribution from Nathaniel Johnston, Apr 10 2011 (Start):

a(n) = A188493(n+1) - A188491(n) - A188497(n).

a(n) = A002526(n-1) + A188494(n-1).

(End)
