Initialized with a single black (ON) cell at stage zero.
Rule numbers 1, 9, 17, 25, 257, 265, 273 and 281 all generate this sequence.

FORMULA

Conjectures from Colin Barker, Nov 01 2016: (Start)
G.f.: (1 - 100*x^2 + 1100*x^3)/((1 - x)*(1 + x)*(1 - 10*x)*(1 + 10*x)).
a(n) = 101*a(n-2) - 100*a(n-4) for n>3.
a(n) = (-91+109*(-1)^n+10^(1+n)-(-1)^n*10^(1+n))/18. (End)
