%N Number of length 1+3 0..n arrays with no pair in any consecutive four terms totalling exactly n.
%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A246480/b246480.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>
%F Empirical: a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - a(n-2) - 5*a(n-3) + 5*a(n-4) + a(n-5) - 3*a(n-6) + a(n-7).
%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Nov 06 2018: (Start)
%F G.f.: 2*x*(1 + 2*x + 16*x^2 + 6*x^3 + 23*x^4) / ((1 - x)^5*(1 + x)^2).
%F a(n) = -n + 3*n^2 - 2*n^3 + n^4 for n even.
%F a(n) = -3 + 3*n + 3*n^2 - 2*n^3 + n^4 for n odd.
