%N Number of walks of length 2n+1 between two nodes at distance 5 in the cycle graph C_10.

%C In general 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=10 and k=5. Herbert

%F a(n) = 4^n/5*Sum_{r=0..9} (-1)^r*Cos(Pi*r/5)^(2n+1).
