%N Number of n X 4 0..3 arrays with no element equal to another at a city block distance of exactly two, and new values 0..3 introduced in row major order.

%C Column 4 of A222838.

%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A222834/b222834.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

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

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Aug 16 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: x*(7 + 82*x + 10*x^2 - 17*x^3) / ((1 + x)*(1 - 3*x + x^2)).

%F a(n) = (3/5)*2^(2-n)*((-1)^n*2^(2+n) + (3-sqrt(5))^(1+n) + (3+sqrt(5))^(1+n)) for n>1.

%F (End)
