Number of inequivalent n X n matrices over GF(4) under action of dihedral group of the square D_4, with a fourth of 1's, 2's, 3's and 4's (ordered occurrences rounded up/down if n^2 != 0 mod 4).

FORMULA
G.f.: g(x1,x2,x3,x4) = 1/8*(y1^(n^2) + 2*y1^n*y2^((n^2 - n)/2) + 3*y2^(n^2/2) + 2*y4^(n^2/4)) if n even and 1/8*(y1^(n^2) + 4*y1^n*y2^((n^2 - n)/2) + y1*y2^((n^2 - 1)/2) + 2*y1*y4^((n^2 - 1)/4)) if n odd, where coefficient correspond to y1 = x1 + x2 + x3 + x4, y2 = x1^2 + x2^2 + x3^2 + x4^2, y4 = x1^4 + x2^4 + x3^4 + x4^2 and occurrences of numbers are ceiling(n^2/4) for 1's and floor(n^2/4) for 2's, 3's and 4's.
EXAMPLE
For n=2 the a(2)=3 solutions are the colorings of 2 X 2 matrices in 4 colors inequivalent under the action of D_4 with exactly 1 occurrence of each color (coefficient of x1^1 x2^1 x3^1 x4^1).
