description Recently there is huge interest in graph theory and intensive study on computing integer powers of matrices. In this paper, we consider one type of directed graph. Then we obtain a general form of the adjacency matrices of the graph. By using the well-known property which states the (i,j) entry of Am (A is adjacency matrix) is equal to the number of walks of length m from vertex i to vertex j, we show that elements of mth positive integer power of the adjacency matrix correspond to well-known Jacobsthal numbers. As a consequence, we give a Cassini-like formula for Jacobsthal numbers. We also give a matrix whose permanents are Jacobsthal numbers.
