Formula
Empirical: a(n) = 3*a(n-1) + 3*a(n-2) + 14*a(n-3) - 39*a(n-4) - 45*a(n-5) - 124*a(n-6) + 18*a(n-7) + 132*a(n-8) + 248*a(n-9) + 112*a(n-10) + 64*a(n-11).
Empirical g.f.: x*(3 + 6*x - 3*x^2 - 54*x^3 - 117*x^4 - 128*x^5 - 16*x^6 + 386*x^7 + 348*x^8 + 224*x^9 + 64*x^10) / (1 - 3*x - 3*x^2 - 14*x^3 + 39*x^4 + 45*x^5 + 124*x^6 - 18*x^7 - 132*x^8 - 248*x^9 - 112*x^10 - 64*x^11). - Colin Barker, Sep 30 2018
