%N Number of n-step walks (each step +-1 starting from 0) which are never more than 5 or less than -5.

%F a(n) = A068913(5,n).

%F a(n) = 6*a(n-2) - 9*a(n-4) + 2*a(n-6).

%F a(n) = 2^n for n < 6.

%F G.f.: ((1-x)^2*(1+x)^2*(1+2*x)) / ((1-2*x^2)*(1-4*x^2+x^4)).

%F a(2*n+1) = 2*a(2*n).

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A214846(n-k, k). - _Philippe Deléham_, Mar 25 2013
