FORMULA
a(n) = (((2*floor(n/4))!)^2/128)*(n^5 + 3*n^4 + n^3 + 35*n^2 + 38*n + 2 - (n^5 - n^4 - 7*n^3 - n^2 - 10*n - 30)*(-1)^n -4*(n^3 + 2*n^2 + n - 4)*n*cos(Pi*n/2) - 2*(n^5 + n^4 - 11*n^3 - 7*n^2 - 2*n + 2)*sin(Pi*n/2)), for n > 1.
a(n) = A323500(n) * A323501(n) for n > 1. - Andrew Howroyd, Sep 08 2019
