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

%F a(n) = 1/2*(n^2+(-1)^n*n+4*n-(-1)^n+1).

%F a(n) = 1/2*(n^2+5*n) for n even.

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

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

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

%e From _Michael De Vlieger_, Dec 14 2015: (Start)
