%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Jan 16 2016: (Start)

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

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

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

%F (End)

%t rule=133; 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 *) nbc=Table[Total[catri[[k]]],{k,1,rows}]; (* Number of Black cells in stage n *) Table[Length[catri[[k]]]-nbc[[k]],{k,1,rows}] (* Number of White cells in stage n *)
