R. H. Hardin, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210

FORMULA

Empirical: a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 3*a(n-2) - 4*a(n-3) - 4*a(n-4) for n>5.

Conjectures from Colin Barker, Jan 14 2019: (Start)

G.f.: x*(3 + 6*x - x^2 + 12*x^3 + 12*x^4) / ((1 + x)^2*(1 - 2*x)^2).

a(n) = (4/27)*(7*((-1)^n-2^n) + 3*((-1)^n + 2^(2+n))*n) for n>1.

(End)

EXAMPLE
