%C Row 3 of A208085.

%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A208086/b208086.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

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

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Jun 27 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: 2*x*(12 - 8*x - 17*x^2 + 7*x^3) / ((1 - x)*(1 + x)*(1 - 3*x + x^2)).

%F a(n) = 2^(1-n)*(2^n*(15+2*(-1)^n) + (9-4*sqrt(5))*(3-sqrt(5))^n + (3+sqrt(5))^n*(9+4*sqrt(5))) / 5.
