Formula

a(4*n+6) = A078371(n). - Paul Curtz, Oct 05 2008
a(n) = 3*a(n-8) - 6*a(n-16) + 10*a(n-24) - 12*a(n-32) + 12*a(n-40) - 10*a(n-48) + 6*a(n-56) - 3*a(n-64) + a(n-72). - Charles R Greathouse IV, Aug 17 2011
a(n) = (n^2-16) / gcd(16*n^2, n^2-16). - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Sep 25 2011, corrected by Colin Barker, Jan 13 2014.
