%N Number of walks of length n between two nodes at distance 3 in the cycle graph C_9.

%C In general 2^n/m*Sum(r,0,m-1,Cos(2Pi*k*r/m)Cos(2Pi*r/m)^n) is the number of walks of length n between two nodes at distance k in the cycle graph C_m. Here we have m=9 and k=3.

%F a(n)= 2^n/9*Sum(r, 0, 8, Cos(2Pi*r/3)Cos(2Pi*r/9)^n) G.f.: (-1+x)x^3/((1+x)(-1+2x)(1-3x^2+x^3)) a(n)=a(n-1)+5a(n-2)-4a(n-3)-5a(n-4)+2a(n-5)
