Chess Sliders

Statement only · UnsolvedOriginal problem ↗

A Slider is a chess piece that can move one square left or right.

This problem uses a cylindrical chess board where the left hand edge of the board is connected to the right hand edge. This means that a Slider that is on the left hand edge of the chess board can move to the right hand edge of the same row and vice versa.

Let L(N,K) be the number of ways K non-attacking Sliders can be placed on an N×N cylindrical chess-board.

For example, L(2,2)=4 and L(6,12)=4204761.

Find L(109,1015)mod(107+19)2.
