%N Number of -n..n arrays x(0..2) of 3 elements with zeroth through 2nd differences all nonzero.

%C Row 3 of A199943.

%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A199944/b199944.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..200</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 3*a(n-1) -2*a(n-2) -2*a(n-3) +3*a(n-4) -a(n-5).

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, May 17 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: 2*x*(1 + 15*x + 19*x^2 + 13*x^3) / ((1 - x)^4*(1 + x)).

%F a(n) = 6*n - 10*n^2 + 8*n^3 for n even.

%F a(n) = -2 + 6*n - 10*n^2 + 8*n^3 for n odd.

%F (End)
