COMMENTS
a(n+3) is the number of equivalence classes of n-tuples from the set {1,0,-1} where the number of nonzero elements is 4 and two n-tuples are equivalent if they are negatives of each other. - Michael Somos, Oct 19 2022

FORMULA
From R. J. Mathar, Jul 13 2009: (Start)
a(n) = 8*A000332(n+3).
G.f.: 8*x/(1-x)^5. (End)
For n > 0, a(n) = 1/(Integral_{x=0..Pi/2} sin(x)^7 * cos(x)^(2*n-1) dx). - Francesco Daddi, Aug 02 2011
E.g.f.: x*(24 + 36*x + 12*x^2 + x^3)*exp(x)/3. - G. C. Greubel, Aug 27 2019
From Amiram Eldar, Nov 03 2022: (Start)
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 1/6.
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 4*log(2) - 8/3.
Product_{n>=1} 1-1/a(n) = 4*cos(sqrt(13)*Pi/2)*cosh(sqrt(3)*Pi/2)/(3*Pi^2). (End)
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 8*x + 40*x^2 + 120*x^3 + 280*x^4 + 560*x^5 + ... - Michael Somos, Oct 19 2022
