%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A231103/b231103.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 4*a(n-1) + 5*a(n-2).

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Sep 26 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: 2*x^2 / ((1 + x)*(1 - 5*x)).

%F a(n) = (5^n + 5) / 15 for n even.

%F a(n) = (5^n - 5) / 15 for n odd.

%F (End)
