%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Dec 08 2015 and Apr 16 2019: (Start)

%F a(n) = 10001*a(n-2)-10000*a(n-4) for n>3.

%F G.f.: (1+111*x) / ((1-x)*(1+x)*(1-100*x)*(1+100*x)).

%F (End)

%F Conjecture: a(n) = floor((10000+1100*(n mod 2))*100^n/9999). - _Karl V. Keller, Jr._, Sep 24 2021

%e From _Michael De Vlieger_, Oct 07 2015: (Start)

%e First 8 rows, representing ON cells as "1", OFF cells within the bounds of ON cells as "0", interpreted as a binary number at left, the decimal equivalent appearing at right (A118108):

%e 1 = 1

%e 111 = 7

%e 1 0001 = 17

%e 111 0111 = 119

%e 1 0001 0001 = 273

%e 111 0111 0111 = 1911

%e 1 0001 0001 0001 = 4369

%e 111 0111 0111 0111 = 30583

%e 10001 0001 0001 0001 = 69905

%e (End)

%t rule=54; rows=20; ca=CellularAutomaton[rule, {{1}, 0}, rows-1, {All, All}]; (* Start with single black cell *) catri=Table[Take[ca[[k]], {rows-k+1, rows+k-1}], {k, 1, rows}]; (* Truncated list of each row *) Table[FromDigits[catri[[k]]], {k, 1, rows}] (* Binary Representation of Rows *) (* _Robert Price_, Feb 21 2016 *)

%Y Cf. A071030 (essentially the same but lists bits separately), A118108 (converted to base 10).
