Formula

Empirical: a(n) = a(n-1) +a(n-3) -a(n-4) +2*a(n-5) -a(n-6) +a(n-7) for n>18.

Empirical g.f.: x*(1 + x + 4*x^2 + 17*x^3 + 53*x^4 - 24*x^5 - 31*x^6 - 63*x^7 - 8*x^8 - 82*x^9 - 28*x^11 - 3*x^12 - 6*x^13 - 2*x^14 - 19*x^15 - 8*x^16 - 9*x^17) / (1 - x - x^3 + x^4 - 2*x^5 + x^6 - x^7). - Colin Barker, Jan 02 2019
