%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Jan 03 2016 and Apr 18 2019: (Start)

%F a(n) = (7*(-1)^n+2^(2*n+1)-(-1)^n*2^(2*n+1)-1)/2 for n>1.

%F a(n) = 17*a(n-2)-16*a(n-4) for n>5.

%F G.f.: (1+6*x-14*x^2+22*x^3-32*x^4+32*x^5) / ((1-x)*(1+x)*(1-4*x)*(1+4*x)).

%F (End)

%F a(n) = A266255(n), n>1. - _R. J. Mathar_, Jan 10 2016

%F Conjecture: a(n) = 2*4^n - 4 for odd n > 1; a(n) = 3 for even n > 1. - _Karl V. Keller, Jr._, Oct 10 2021
