Column 3 of A245163.

Formula

Empirical: a(n) = 10*a(n-1) - 37*a(n-2) + 64*a(n-3) - 52*a(n-4) + 16*a(n-5) for n>6.

Conjectures from Colin Barker, Nov 03 2018: (Start)

G.f.: x*(1 - 9*x + 29*x^2 - 43*x^3 + 31*x^4 - 11*x^5) / ((1 - x)^2*(1 - 2*x)^2*(1 - 4*x)).

a(n) = (-64 - 27*2^(2+n) + 4^n + 12*(32+3*2^n)*n) / 576 for n>1.

(End)
