%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Jan 18 2016 and Apr 20 2019: (Start)

%F a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 4*a(n-2) for n>3.

%F G.f.: (1-4*x+10*x^2-4*x^3) / ((1-x)*(1-4*x)).

%F (End)

%F Empirical a(n) = 3*4^(n-1)-1 for n>1. - _Colin Barker_, Nov 25 2016 and Apr 20 2019

%A _Robert Price_, Jan 18 2016

%E Removed an unjustified claim that _Colin Barker_'s conjectures are correct. Removed a program based on a conjecture. - _Michael De Vlieger_, Jun 13 2022
