%N Number of 4-bead necklaces labeled with numbers -n..n not allowing reversal, with sum zero and first differences in -n..n.

%C Row 4 of A208993.

%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A208995/b208995.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</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_, Jul 07 2018: (Start)

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

%F a(n) = (12 + 8*n + 6*n^2 + 4*n^3) / 12 for n even.

%F a(n) = (6 + 8*n + 6*n^2 + 4*n^3) / 12 for n odd.

%F (End)
