%N Number of n element 0..2 arrays with each element the minimum of 4 adjacent elements of a random 0..2 array of n+3 elements.

%C Column 4 of A217883.

%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A217879/b217879.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3) + 3*a(n-5) - a(n-6) + a(n-7) + a(n-8) + a(n-9).

%F Empirical g.f.: x*(1 + x^2 + x^3 + x^4)*(3 + x^2 + x^3 + x^4) / (1 - 3*x + 3*x^2 - x^3 - 3*x^5 + x^6 - x^7 - x^8 - x^9). - _Colin Barker_, Jul 23 2018
