%N 1/16 the number of (n+1) X 7 0..3 arrays with all 2 X 2 subblocks having the same four values.

%C Column 6 of A184039.

%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A184036/b184036.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..200</a>

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

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Apr 10 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: x*(325 - 638*x - 653*x^2 + 1276*x^3) / ((1 - x)*(1 - 2*x)*(1 - 2*x^2)).

%F a(n) = 9*2^(n/2-1) + 9*2^(n-1) + 310 for n even.

%F a(n) = 9*2^(n-1) + 3*2^((n+1)/2) + 310 for n odd.
