%N Number of n X 2 arrays of the minimum value of corresponding elements and their horizontal, vertical or diagonal neighbors in a random, but sorted with lexicographically nondecreasing rows and nonincreasing columns, 0..2 n X 2 array.
%C Column 2 of A219816.
%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A219810/b219810.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>
%F Empirical: a(n) = (1/12)*n^4 - (1/2)*n^3 + (41/12)*n^2 - 3*n + 1 for n>1.
%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Jul 28 2018: (Start)
%F G.f.: x*(3 - 9*x + 16*x^2 - 17*x^3 + 11*x^4 - 2*x^5) / (1 - x)^5.
%F a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 10*a(n-2) + 10*a(n-3) - 5*a(n-4) + a(n-5) for n>6.
%F (End)
