A225312 Number of 5 X n -1,1 arrays such that the sum over i=1..5,j=1..n of i*x(i,j) is zero and rows are nondecreasing (ways to put n thrusters pointing east or west at each of 5 positions 1..n distance from the hinge of a south-pointing gate without turning the gate).

Formula

Empirical: a(n) = 3*a(n-2) - 2*a(n-4) - 2*a(n-6) + 4*a(n-8) - 4*a(n-10) + 2*a(n-12) + 2*a(n-14) - 3*a(n-16) + a(n-18).

Empirical g.f.: x^2*(15 + 68*x^2 + 118*x^4 + 140*x^6 + 116*x^8 + 72*x^10 + 14*x^12 - 2*x^14 + x^16) / ((1 - x)^5*(1 + x)^5*(1 + x^2)^2*(1 + x^4)). - Colin Barker, Sep 05 2018
