Indranil Ghosh, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..995

Formula

a(n-1) = (((-2*(n-1)-1)*a(n-1))/(2*(n-1)-1)) + 8*(n-1)^2 + 10*(n-1) + 3 for n>=2, with a(0)=0.

Conjectures from Colin Barker, Jan 01 2017: (Start)

a(n) = 4*n^2 + 8*n + 3 for n>0 and even.

a(n) = 4*n^2 + 6*n + 2 for n odd.

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

G.f.: x*(12 + 23*x - 3*x^2 - 3*x^3 + 3*x^4) / ((1 - x)^3*(1 + x)^2).

Example

For n=2, the matrices are [0,0,0,0], [0,0,0,1], [0,0,0,2], [0,0,1,0], [0,0,1,1], [0,0,1,2], [0,0,2,0], [0,0,2,1], [0,0,2,2], [0,1,0,0], [0,1,0,1], [0,1,0,2], [0,1,1,0], [0,1,1,1], [0,1,1,2], [0,2,0,0], [0,2,0,1], [0,2,0,2], [1,0,0,0], [1,0,0,1], [1,0,1,0], [1,0,1,1], [1,0,2,0], [1,0,2,1], [1,1,0,0], [1,1,0,1], [1,1,1,0], [1,2,0,0], [1,2,0,1], [2,0,0,0], [2,0,1,0], [2,0,2,0], [2,1,0,0], [2,1,1,0], [2,2,0,0].
Here each of these matrices M is defined as  M=[a,b,c,d], where a=M[1][1], b=M[1][2], c=M[2][1], d=M[2][2]. There are 35 possibilities. So for n=2, a(n)=35.
