%N Number of 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..2 n X 2 array.

%C Column 2 of A219627.

%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A219621/b219621.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = (1/12)*n^4 + (23/12)*n^2 + n.

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Jul 26 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: x*(3 - 4*x + 2*x^2 + x^3) / (1 - x)^5.

%F a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 10*a(n-2) + 10*a(n-3) - 5*a(n-4) + a(n-5) for n>5.

%F (End)
