%N Number of arrays of 2n nondecreasing integers in -3..3 with sum zero and equal numbers greater than zero and less than zero.

%C Column 3 of A203291.

%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A203286/b203286.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 4*a(n-1) -5*a(n-2) +5*a(n-4) -4*a(n-5) +a(n-6).

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Jun 04 2018: (Start)

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

%F a(n) = (48 + 80*n + 52*n^2 + 16*n^3 + 2*n^4)/48 for n even.

%F a(n) = (42 + 80*n + 52*n^2 + 16*n^3 + 2*n^4)/48 for n odd.

%F (End)
