Vertical cylinder: a chessboard where it is supposed that the columns 1 and 10 are in contact (number of columns = 10, number of rows = 2n).

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (8,-26,44,-41,20,-4).

Formula

a(n) = -4*a(n-6) + 20*a(n-5) - 41*a(n-4) + 44*a(n-3) - 26*a(n-2) + 8*a(n-1).

G.f.: (1 + 56*x + 246*x^2 + 156*x^3 + 11*x^4)/((x-1)^4*(2*x-1)^2).

a(n) = (1771*n - 8709)*2^n + 235/3*n^3 + 880*n^2 + 12815/3*n + 8710.
