%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A187298/b187298.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..50</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 16*n^2 - 44*n + 18 for n>3.

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Apr 23 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: 2*x^2*(1 + 15*x - 2*x^2 + 5*x^3 - 3*x^4) / (1 - x)^3.

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