Examples
a(4) = 22 = sum of row 4 terms of triangle A132898: (-4, -7, -2, -9).
a(4) = 22 = n*S(n) - n + SUM_{1,n}:S(n) = 4*(-4) - 4 + (1, -2, 3, -4) = -16 - 4 - 2.

Formula
a(n) = n*S(n) - n + Sum_{k=1..n} S(k) where S(n) = (-1)^(n-1)*n.
From Andrew Howroyd, Aug 28 2018: (Start)
a(n) = (-1)^(n-1)*(n^2 + ceiling(n/2)) - n.
a(n) = -a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) + 2*a(n-3) - a(n-4) - a(n-5) for n > 5.
G.f.: x*(1 - 6*x - x^2 - 2*x^3)/((1 - x)^2*(1 + x)^3).
