First use the power reduction formula:
cos 4 ( θ ) = 8 3 + 4 cos ( 2 θ ) + cos ( 4 θ )
So, the sum becomes to:
8 S = n = 1 ∑ 1 0 0 ( 3 + 4 cos ( 2 0 1 2 π n ) + cos ( 2 0 1 4 π n ) )
Then let w = e 2 π i / 2 0 1 . We know that both w and w 2 are primitive 201st roots of unity. Also, 2 1 ( w n + w 2 0 1 − n ) = cos ( 2 0 1 2 π n ) and w + w 2 + ⋯ + w 2 0 0 = − 1 , so the sum is:
8 S = 3 0 0 + 2 n = 1 ∑ 1 0 0 ( w n + w 2 0 1 − n ) + 2 1 n = 1 ∑ 1 0 0 ( ( w 2 ) n + ( w 2 ) 2 0 1 − n )
8 S = 3 0 0 + 2 ( − 1 ) + 2 1 ( − 1 ) = 2 5 9 5
S = 1 6 5 9 5
