Formula

Empirical: a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 6*a(n-2) - 7*a(n-3) + 18*a(n-4) - 3*a(n-5) - 14*a(n-6) + 7*a(n-7) + 3*a(n-8) - 2*a(n-9).

Empirical g.f.: 2*x*(169 - 177*x - 197*x^2 + 577*x^3 - 137*x^4 - 423*x^5 + 221*x^6 + 95*x^7 - 64*x^8) / ((1 - x)^4*(1 + x)^2*(1 - 2*x)*(1 - x - x^2)). - Colin Barker, Nov 20 2018
