FORMULA
a(4*m+k) = 42*m^2 + 21*k*m + [ 2, 4, 12, 25 ], 0 <= k < 4 (N. J. A. Sloane).
a(n) = 1 + (42*n^2 + (1 + (-1)^n)*(3 + 2*(-1)^((n - 1)*n/2)) + 6)/16 for n > 0, a(0) = 1. - Bruno Berselli, Jul 24 2013
G.f.: (1 + 2*x + 5*x^2 + 5*x^3 + 5*x^4 + 2*x^5 + x^6)/((1 - x)^3*(1 + x + x^2 + x^3)). - Bruno Berselli, Jul 24 2013
