%N Number of second differences of arrays of length n + 2 of numbers in 0..4.

%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A228214/b228214.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..137</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 9*a(n-1) - 20*a(n-2) = A005060(n+2) for n>9.

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Sep 10 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: x*(17 + 24*x + 176*x^2 + 384*x^3 - 624*x^4 - 8688*x^5 - 33408*x^6 - 66240*x^7 - 57600*x^8) / ((1 - 4*x)*(1 - 5*x)).

%F a(n) = 5^(2+n) - 4^(2+n) for n>7.

%F (End)
