%N Number of length 1+4 0..n arrays with some pair in every consecutive five terms totalling exactly n.

%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A246893/b246893.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) - 6*a(n-3) + 6*a(n-5) - 2*a(n-6) - 2*a(n-7) + a(n-8).

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Nov 07 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: x*(30 + 171*x + 378*x^2 + 619*x^3 + 394*x^4 + 329*x^5 - 2*x^6 + x^7) / ((1 - x)^5*(1 + x)^3).

%F a(n) = 1 - 5*n + 30*n^2 - 5*n^3 + 10*n^4 for n even.

%F a(n) = -15 + 20*n + 20*n^2 - 5*n^3 + 10*n^4 for n odd.

%F (End)
