FORMULA

G.f.=x^2*(3x^8-27x^7+126x^6-360x^5+663x^4-781x^3+570x^2-220x+34)/[(1-x)^3*(1-5x+3x^2-x^3)^2]. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Dec 21 2004

The McSorley reference gives the approximation a(n)~.8757*n*4.3652^n-1.5432*n*.4786^n*cos(.8458*n+.9674)+n^2-2*n. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Dec 21 2004
