%N Number of (n+1) X 2 0..2 arrays with every 2 X 2 subblock having nonzero determinant and commuting with every horizontal or vertical neighbor.

%C Column 1 of A207149.

%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A207142/b207142.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) - 2*a(n-3) for n>8.

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Jun 19 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: x*(50 - 20*x - 50*x^2 + 22*x^3 - 3*x^4 - x^5 - x^6 + x^7) / ((1 - x)*(1 - 2*x^2)).

%F a(n) = 15 * 2^(n/2) + 2 for n>5 and even.

%F a(n) = 313 * 2^((n-7)/2) + 2 for n>5 and odd.

%F (End)
