%N Number of ways to reciprocally link elements of an n X 5 array either to themselves or to exactly two horizontal and antidiagonal neighbors, without consecutive collinear links.

%C Column 5 of A220708.

%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A220705/b220705.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

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

%F Empirical g.f.: x*(1 + 3*x - x^2 - 2*x^3 - 2*x^4 - x^5) / ((1 - x)*(1 + x)*(1 - 2*x - 2*x^2 - 2*x^3 - x^4)). - _Colin Barker_, Aug 02 2018
