A227329 Number of n X 2 0,1 arrays indicating 2 X 2 subblocks of some larger (n+1) X 3 binary array having two adjacent 1's and two adjacent 0's, with rows and columns of the latter in lexicographically nondecreasing order.

R. H. Hardin, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210

Formula

Empirical: a(n) = (1/5040)*n^7 + (1/720)*n^6 + (37/720)*n^5 - (1/144)*n^4 + (283/180)*n^3 - (1259/180)*n^2 + (3019/210)*n - 2 for n>2.

Conjectures from Colin Barker, Sep 08 2018: (Start)

G.f.: x*(4 - 21*x + 58*x^2 - 84*x^3 + 69*x^4 - 43*x^5 + 37*x^6 - 30*x^7 + 13*x^8 - 2*x^9) / (1 - x)^8.

a(n) = 8*a(n-1) - 28*a(n-2) + 56*a(n-3) - 70*a(n-4) + 56*a(n-5) - 28*a(n-6) + 8*a(n-7) - a(n-8) for x>10.
