FORMULA
a(n) = n*(n-1)*(n-3)/8 when n odd; n*(n-2)*(n-4)/8 when n even.
G.f.: x^5*(x+5)/((1-x)(1-x^2)^3). - Michael Somos, Jan 30 2004
For n odd, a(n) = A080838(n). - Gerald McGarvey, Sep 14 2008
a(n) = n*(2*n-3-(-1)^n)*(2*n-7-(-1)^n)/32. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Dec 31 2013
E.g.f.: x*((x - 3)*x*cosh(x) + (x^2 - x + 3)*sinh(x))/8. - Stefano Spezia, May 28 2022
