COMMENTS

In general a(n,m) = (2^n/m)*Sum_{k=0..m-1} Cos(2Pi*k/m)^n counts closed walks of length n at a vertex of the cyclic graph on m nodes C_m. Here we have the case m=5. - Herbert Kociemba, May 31 2004

FORMULA
|
a(n) = 2*A052964(n) for n>0.
G.f.: (1/5)*(1/(1-2*x) + 2*(2+x)/(1+x-x^2)).
a(n) = ( 2^n + 2*(-1)^n*( F(n+1) + F(n-1) ) )/5, where F(n) is the n-th Fibonacci number (cf. A000045).
a(n) = (2^n/5)*Sum_{k=0..4} Cos(2Pi*k/5)^n). - Herbert Kociemba, May 31 2004
Recurrence: a(n) = 5*(a(n-2) - a(n-4)) + 2*a(n-5). - Herbert Kociemba, Jun 04 2004
