%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A281199/b281199.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - 11*a(n-2) + 6*a(n-3) - a(n-4).

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

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

%F a(n) = (2^(-n)*(2*sqrt(5)*((3-sqrt(5))^n - (3+sqrt(5))^n) - 5*(3-sqrt(5))^n*(1+sqrt(5))*n + 5*(-1+sqrt(5))*(3+sqrt(5))^n*n)) / 25.
