The a(n) represent the number of n-move routes of a fairy chess piece starting in a given corner square (m = 1, 3, 7 or 9) on a 3 X 3 chessboard. This fairy chess piece behaves like a king on the eight side and corner squares but on the center square the king goes crazy and turns into a red king.
On a 3 X 3 chessboard there are 2^9 = 512 ways to go crazy on the center square (off the center the piece behaves like a normal king). The red king is represented by the A[5] vector in the fifth row of the adjacency matrix A, see the Maple program and A180140. For the corner squares the 512 red kings lead to 47 different red king sequences, see the overview of the red king sequences.
The sequence above corresponds to four A[5] vectors with decimal [binary] values 367 [101 101 111], 463 [111 001 111], 487 [111 100 111] and 493 [111 101 101]. These vectors lead for the side squares to A126473 and for the central square to A179597.
This sequence belongs to a family of sequences with g.f. (1+x)/(1 - 2*x - (k+8)*x^2 - 2*k*x^3). Red king sequences that are members of this family are A083424 (k=0), A179604 (k=1), A179600 (k=2), A179596 (k=3; this sequence) and A086346 (k=4). Other members of this family are A015528 (k=5) and A179608 (k=-4).

The a(n) represent the number of n-move routes of a fairy chess piece starting in a given corner square (m = 1, 3, 7, 9) on a 3 X 3 chessboard. This fairy chess piece behaves like a bishop on the eight side and corner squares but on the central square the bishop turns into a raging elephant, see A175654.
The sequence above corresponds to four A[5] vectors with decimal values 171, 174, 234 and 426. These vectors lead for the side squares to A000079 and for the central square to A175661 (a(n) = 2^(n+2) - 3*F(n+1)).

The a(n) represent the number of n-move routes of a fairy chess piece starting in the central square (m = 5) on a 3 X 3 chessboard. This fairy chess piece behaves like a bishop on the eight side and corner squares but on the central square the bishop turns into a raging elephant, see A175654.
