FORMULA
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Jan 19 2016: (Start)
a(n) = 6*a(n-1)-7*a(n-2)-6*a(n-3)+8*a(n-4) for n>5.
G.f.: (1-4*x+15*x^2+4*x^3-12*x^4-16*x^5) / ((1-x)*(1+x)*(1-2*x)*(1-4*x)).
(End)
Conjecture: a(n) = 2*(-3 + (-1)^n - 2^(2+n) + 3*4^n)/3 for n>1. - Colin Barker, Feb 14 2017
Conjecture: a(n) = floor((6*4^n - 8*2^n)/3) - 2^(n mod 2) for n > 1. - Karl V. Keller, Jr., Jun 01 2022
