Formula

Empirical: a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + a(n-3) + a(n-4) + a(n-5) + a(n-6) + a(n-7) + a(n-8) + a(n-9).

Empirical g.f.: x*(1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4)^2 / (1 - x - x^2 - x^3 - x^4 - x^5 - x^6 - x^7 - x^8 - x^9). - Colin Barker, Jul 24 2018

Example

All solutions for n=3:
..1....0....0....1....0....1....1
..1....0....1....0....1....0....1
..1....1....1....1....0....0....0
