%N Number of (n+1) X 2 0..1 arrays with the determinants of 2 X 2 subblocks nondecreasing rightwards and downwards.

%C Column 1 of A204616.

%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A204609/b204609.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-3) for n>6.

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Feb 20 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: (16 - x - 16*x^2 - 8*x^3 - 4*x^4 - x^5) / ((1 - x)*(1 - 2*x - 2*x^2)).

%F a(n) = (112 + (193-113*sqrt(3))*(1-sqrt(3))^n + (1+sqrt(3))^n*(193+113*sqrt(3))) / 24 for n>2.
