A261212
Maximum number of 1's in an fully symmetrical n X n binary matrix with no three 1's adjacent in a line along a row, column or diagonally.

1, 4, 4, 8, 16, 20, 25, 36, 41, 48, 64, 72, 81, 100, 109, 120, 144, 156, 173, 196, 213, 228, 256, 272, 300, 324, 349, 368, 401, 424, 457, 484
OFFSET
1,2
COMMENTS
Fully symmetrical refers to the four symmetry axes: horizontal, vertical and two diagonal.
Note that a(3k+2) = 4*(1+k)^2, for k=0,...,8, but a(29) = 401.
FORMULA
a(n) <= A181018(n).
a(3k+2) >= 4*(k+1)^2.
EXAMPLE
For n=4, the matrix is
0 1 0
1 0 1
0 1 0
For n=6, the matrix is
1 1 0 0 1 1
1 0 1 1 0 1
0 1 0 0 1 0
0 1 0 0 1 0
1 0 1 1 0 1
1 1 0 0 1 1
