%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A187512/b187512.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..50</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 285*n^2 - 1624*n + 2210 for n>5.

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Apr 24 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: x^3*(1 + x)*(20 + 250*x + 44*x^2 - 20*x^3 - 9*x^4) / (1 - x)^3.

%F a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3) for n>8.
