%N A100304 Expansion of (1 - x - 6*x^2)/(1 - x - 8*x^2).
%C A100304 Construct a graph as follows: form the graph whose adjacency matrix is the tensor product of that of P_3 and [1,1;1,1], then add a loop at each of the 'internal' nodes. (Spectrum : [0^3; 1; (1-sqrt(33))/2;(1+sqrt(33))/2]). a(n) counts closed walks of length n at each of the extremity nodes.
