%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A235282/b235282.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 3*a(n-2) - 6*a(n-3).

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Oct 18 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: 4*x*(5 - 18*x^2) / ((1 - 2*x)*(1 - 3*x^2)).

%F a(n) = 2^(2+n) + 2*3^((-1+n)/2)*(3-3*(-1)^n + 2*sqrt(3) + 2*(-1)^n*sqrt(3)).
