Formula
Recurrence: a(n) = a(n - 1) + 2*a(n - 2) + 4*a(n - 3) + 6*a(n - 4) + 10*a(n - 5) + 12*a(n - 6) - 4*a(n - 7) - 6*a(n - 8) - 6*a(n - 9) - 2*a(n - 11) - 2*a(n - 12) + a(n - 14) + a(n - 15).
G.f.: - (x^9 + x^7 - 2*x^6 - 2*x^4 - 2*x^3 - x^2 + 1)/(x^15 + x^14 - 2*x^12 - 2*x^11 - 6*x^9 - 6*x^8 - 4*x^7 + 12*x^6 + 10*x^5 + 6*x^4 + 4*x^3 + 2*x^2 + x - 1)
