%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Jan 20 2016 and Apr 17 2019: (Start)

%F a(n) = a(n-1)+16*a(n-2)-16*a(n-3) for n>3.

%F G.f.: (1+4*x-2*x^2+12*x^3) / ((1-x)*(1-4*x)*(1+4*x)).

%F Empirical a(n) = (11*4^n-(-4)^n-8)/8 for n>0. - _Colin Barker_, Nov 25 2016 and Apr 17 2019

%F Conjecture: a(n) = 3*4^((n-1)/2)*2^n - 1 for odd n; a(n) = 5*4^(n/2 - 1)*2^n - 1 for even n > 0. - _Karl V. Keller, Jr._, May 01 2022
