Number of nX2 n X 2 arrays of the minimum value of corresponding elements and their horizontal or antidiagonal neighbors in a random, but sorted with lexicographically nondecreasing rows and columns, 0..3 nX2 n X 2 array.
Column 2 of A219471.
Empirical: a(n) = (1/20160)*n^8 + (1/1260)*n^7 + (1/480)*n^6 + (4/45)*n^5 - (11/960)*n^4 + (277/180)*n^3 + (7607/5040)*n^2 + (61/70)*n.
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Jul 26 2018: (Start)
G.f.: x*(4 - 13*x + 19*x^2 - 7*x^3 - 8*x^4 + 10*x^5 - 2*x^6 - x^7) / (1 - x)^9.
a(n) = 9*a(n-1) - 36*a(n-2) + 84*a(n-3) - 126*a(n-4) + 126*a(n-5) - 84*a(n-6) + 36*a(n-7) - 9*a(n-8) + a(n-9) for n>9.
