a(n) = number of necklaces with 4 black beads and n white beads.
Also nonnegative integer 2 X 2 matrices with sum of elements equal to n, up to rotational symmetry.
The g.f. is Z(C_4,x), the 4-variate cycle index polynomial for the cyclic group C_4, with substitution x[i]->1/(1-x^i), i=1,...,4. Therefore by Polya enumeration a(n) is the number of cyclically inequivalent 4-necklaces whose 4 beads are labeled with nonnegative integers such that the sum of labels is n, for n=0,1,2,... See A102190 for Z(C_4,x). - Wolfdieter Lang, Feb 15 2005.

FORMULA

G.f.: (1+2*x^3+x^4)/((1-x)*(1-x^2)^2*(1-x^4)) = (1-x+x^2+x^3)/((1-x)^2*(1-x^2)*(1-x^4)).
a(n) = (1/48)*(2*n^3 + 3*(-1)^n*(n + 4) + 12*n^2 + 25*n + 24 + 12*cos(n*Pi/2)). - Ralf Stephan, Apr 29 2014
G.f.: (1/4)*(1/(1-x)^4+1/(1-x^2)^2+2/(1-x^4)). - Herbert Kociemba, Oct 22 2016

EXAMPLE

There are 10 inequivalent nonnegative integer 2 X 2 matrices with sum of elements equal to 4, up to rotational symmetry:
[0 0] [0 0] [0 0] [0 0] [0 1] [0 1] [0 1] [0 2] [0 2] [1 1]
[0 4] [1 3] [2 2] [3 1] [1 2] [2 1] [3 0] [1 1] [2 0] [1 1].
