Formula

a(n)= ( (n+1)^9 + (1 + (-1)^n)/2 )/2.

a(n) = 9*a(n-1) - 35*a(n-2) + 75*a(n-3) - 90*a(n-4) + 42*a(n-5) + 42*a(n-6) - 90*a(n-7) + 75*a(n-8) - 35*a(n-9) + 9*a(n-10) - a(n-11).

Example

a(1)=256: there are 256 compositions of even numbers into 9 parts <= 1:
   0: (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0) --> 9!/9!0! =   1
   2: (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1) --> 9!/7!2! =  36
   4: (0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1) --> 9!/5!4! = 126
   8: (0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1) --> 9!/3!6! =  84
  10: (0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1) --> 9!/1!8! =   9
