FORMULA
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Jun 07 2019: (Start)
G.f.: x*(4 - 7*x - x^2 + x^3) / ((1 - 3*x + x^2)*(1 - x - x^2)).
a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) - 2*a(n-3) + a(n-4) for n>4.
(End)
EXAMPLE
The first four polynomials p(n,x) and their reductions are as follows:
p(1,x)=1+x+x^4 -> 3+4x
p(2,x)=1+x^2+x^6 -> 7+9x
p(3,x)=1+x^3+x^8 -> 15+23x
p(4,x)=1+x^4+x^10 -> 37+58x.
From these, read
A192472=(3,7,15,37,...) and A192473=(4,9,23,58,...)
