FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 8*a(n-3) + 6*a(n-4) + 6*a(n-5) - 8*a(n-6) + 3*a(n-8) - a(n-9).
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Nov 06 2018: (Start)
G.f.: 2*x*(1 + 3*x + 44*x^2 + 34*x^3 + 189*x^4 + 43*x^5 + 166*x^6) / ((1 - x)^6*(1 + x)^3).
a(n) = 10*n - 20*n^2 + 15*n^3 - 5*n^4 + n^5 for n even.
a(n) = 16 - 15*n - 10*n^2 + 15*n^3 - 5*n^4 + n^5 for n odd.
(End)
