%C For n>=2, a(n) equals the permanent of the (n-1) X (n-1) tridiagonal matrix with 4's along the main diagonal, and 3's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal. - _John M. Campbell_, Jul 19 2011

%F O.g.f.: x/(1-4*x-9*x^2).

%F a(n) = -9^n*(A^n - B^n)/(2*sqrt(13)) where A = -1/(2+sqrt(13)) and B = 1/(sqrt(13)-2). (End)
