%C Column 1 of A187729.

%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A187721/b187721.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..200</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 5*a(n-2) + 10*a(n-3) + 8*a(n-4) - 2*a(n-5) - 10*a(n-6) - 7*a(n-7) + 3*a(n-9) + a(n-10) for n>11.

%F Empirical g.f.: x*(16 + 43*x + 50*x^2 + 16*x^3 - 35*x^4 - 47*x^5 - 11*x^6 + 16*x^7 + 13*x^8 - 2*x^9 - 2*x^10) / (1 - 5*x^2 - 10*x^3 - 8*x^4 + 2*x^5 + 10*x^6 + 7*x^7 - 3*x^9 - x^10). - _Colin Barker_, Apr 25 2018
