%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A229472/b229472.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 8*a(n-1) - 22*a(n-2) + 24*a(n-3) - 9*a(n-4) for n>6.

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

%F G.f.: x^2*(1 - 6*x + 12*x^2 - 8*x^3 + 3*x^4) / ((1 - x)^2*(1 - 3*x)^2).

%F a(n) = (27+3^n) * (n-1) / 54 for n>2.
