COMMENTS
This is the number of directed paths on P_n X P_n of any length and also includes one zero length path per vertex. - Andrew Howroyd, May 27 2017
FORMULA
a(n) = 2*A288032(n) + n^2. - Andrew Howroyd, Jun 10 2017
EXAMPLE
For n=2 there are 4 zero length paths (one for each vertex), 8 paths with 1 one edge, 8 paths with 2 edges and 8 paths with 3 edges, so a(2)=28. - Andrew Howroyd, May 27 2017
CROSSREFS
