%N Number of (n+1) X 2 0..2 matrices with each 2 X 2 subblock idempotent.

%C Column 1 of A224676.

%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A224669/b224669.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 2*a(n-1) -a(n-3).

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Feb 17 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: x*(12 + x - 9*x^2) / ((1 - x)*(1 - x - x^2)).

%F a(n) = -4 + (2^(-1-n)*((1-sqrt(5))^n*(-19+13*sqrt(5)) + (1+sqrt(5))^n*(19+13*sqrt(5)))) / sqrt(5).
