%N Number of n X 5 0..3 arrays with no element equal to another at a city block distance of exactly two, and new values 0..3 introduced in row major order.

%C Column 5 of A222838.

%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A222835/b222835.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 2*a(n-3) + a(n-4) for n>7.

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Aug 16 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: x*(19 + 346*x - 120*x^2 + 202*x^3 + 173*x^4 - 144*x^5 - 72*x^6) / ((1 + x^2)*(1 - 2*x - x^2)).

%F a(n) = 48*((-1+i)*((-i)^n+i^(1+n)) + (1-sqrt(2))^n + (1+sqrt(2))^n) for n>3, where i=sqrt(-1).

%F (End)
