Number of nX2 n X 2 0..3 arrays with rows and columns lexicographically nondecreasing read forwards and nonincreasing read backwards.
Column 2 of A201981.
Empirical: a(n) = (1/6)*n^3 + 7*n^2 + (23/6)*n - 7.
Conjectures from Colin Barker, May 25 2018: (Start)
G.f.: x*(4 + 14*x - 24*x^2 + 7*x^3) / (1 - x)^4.
a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 6*a(n-2) + 4*a(n-3) - a(n-4) for n>4.
(End)
Some solutions for n=9.
Cf. A201981.
