FORMULA

G.f.: (1+x^2)/((1-x)*(1-x^2))^4

a(n)=[C(n+8,7)-(n%2)*C((n+7)/2,3)]/8, where C = binomial, n%2 = parity of n (=1 if odd, 0 else). [From M. F. Hasler (www.univ-ag.fr/~mhasler), May 02 2009]

a(0)=1, a(1)=4, a(2)=15, a(3)=40, a(4)=99, a(5)=212, a(6)=429, a(7)=800, a(8)=1430, a(9)=2424, a(10)=3978, a(11)=6288, a(n)=4*a(n-1)-2*a(n-2)-12*a(n-3)+17*a(n-4)+8*a(n-5)-28*a(n-6)+8*a(n-7)+17*a(n-8)-12*a(n-9)- 2*a(n-10)+4*a(n-11)-a(n-12) [From Harvey P. Dale, June 20 2011]
