%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A268939/b268939.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-2) - 12*a(n-3).

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Jan 16 2019: (Start)

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

%F a(n) = (-40*3^n + (25-11*sqrt(5))*(1-sqrt(5))^n + (1+sqrt(5))^n*(25+11*sqrt(5))) / 10.
