%F Empirical (for n>=2): 3^(n+2) - 2*(n+3)^2. - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Nov 27 2012

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Apr 05 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: x*(1 + 25*x - 3*x^2 - 33*x^3 + 18*x^4) / ((1 - x)^3*(1 - 3*x)).

%F a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - 12*a(n-2) + 10*a(n-3) - 3*a(n-4) for n>5.

%F (End)

%F Conjecture is true. The complement consists of arrangements of the forms

%F 1*, 2*, 01*, 02*, 10*, 12*, 20*, 21*, 001*, 002* and 120*. _Robert Israel_, Sep 30 2018
