%N 1/16 the number of (n+1) X 4 0..3 arrays with all 2 X 2 subblocks having the same four values.

%C Column 3 of A184039.

%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A184033/b184033.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..200</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 6*a(n-3) + 4*a(n-4).

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Apr 10 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: x*(49 - 86*x - 101*x^2 + 172*x^3) / ((1 - x)*(1 - 2*x)*(1 - 2*x^2)).

%F a(n) = 9*2^(n/2-1) + 9*2^(n-1) + 34 for n even.

%F a(n) = 9*2^(n-1) + 3*2^((n+1)/2) + 34 for n odd.

%F (End)
