FORMULA
G.f.: (1 - 10*x - 203*x^2 - 2401*x^3 + 18851*x^4 + 109207*x^5 + 120743*x^6 + 34061*x^7 + 1984*x^8 + 7*x^9) / ((1-8*x)*(1-x)^9). - Bruno Berselli, May 16 2011
a(0)=1, a(1)=7, a(2)=-192, a(3)=-6049, a(4)=-61440, a(5)=-357857, a(6)=-1417472, a(7)=-3667649, a(8)=0, a(9)=91171007; for n>9, a(n) = 17*a(n-1) - 108*a(n-2) + 372*a(n-3) - 798*a(n-4) + 1134*a(n-5) - 1092*a(n-6) + 708*a(n-7) - 297*a(n-8) + 73*a(n-9) - 8*a(n-10). - Harvey P. Dale, Oct 10 2013
