%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A187161/b187161.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..50</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 2172*n^2 - 19816*n + 42860 for n>6.

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Apr 20 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: 4*x^5*(118 + 522*x + 370*x^2 + 413*x^3 - 337*x^4) / (1 - x)^3.

%F a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3) for n>9.
