%C Column 1 of A204572.

%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A204565/b204565.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 11*a(n-1) - 31*a(n-2) + 21*a(n-3).

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Jun 07 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: 2*x*(4 - 23*x + 21*x^2) / ((1 - x)*(1 - 3*x)*(1 - 7*x)).

%F a(n) = 1/3 + 3^n + (2*7^n)/3.

%F (End)
