Formula

Empirical: a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) - 6*a(n-3) + 6*a(n-5) - 2*a(n-6) -2*a(n-7) + a(n-8).

Conjectures from Colin Barker, Nov 04 2018: (Start)

G.f.: x*(42 + 469*x + 574*x^2 + 371*x^3 + 10*x^4 - 121*x^5 - 2*x^6 + x^7) / ((1 - x)^5*(1 + x)^3).

a(n) = 1 + 12*n + 26*n^2 + 39*n^3 + 7*n^4 for n even.

a(n) = -9 - 18*n + 23*n^2 + 39*n^3 + 7*n^4 for n odd.
