%C Sums of consecutive pairs yield A084178.

%C Number of walks of length n+1 between two vertices at distance 2 in the cycle graph C_5. In general a(n,m) = 2^n/m*Sum_{k=0..m-1} cos(4*Pi*k/m)*cos(2*Pi*k/m)^n is the number of walks of length n between two vertices at distance 2 in the cycle graph C_m. - _Herbert Kociemba_, May 31 2004
