%C Column 4 of A217982.

%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A217978/b217978.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 5*a(n-2) + a(n-3) - 5*a(n-4) - 8*a(n-5) + a(n-6) + 2*a(n-7).

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