%C A052528 Form the graph with matrix A = [1,1,1,1; 1,0,0,0; 1,0,0,0; 1,0,0,1]. Then a(n) counts closed walks of length n at the degree 5 vertex. - _Paul Barry_, Oct 02 2004
%C A052528 Equals the INVERT transform of (1, 3, 1, 1, 1, ...). - _Gary W. Adamson_, Apr 27 2009
%C A052528 a(n) is also the number of vertex-transitive cover graphs of lattice quotients of essential lattice congruences of the weak order on the symmetric group S_{n+1}. See Table 1 in the Hoang/Mütze reference in the Links section. - _Torsten Muetze_, Nov 28 2019
