FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 3*a(n-2) + 2*a(n-3) + 4*a(n-4) - 2*a(n-5) + 3*a(n-6) + 7*a(n-7) - a(n-8) - 10*a(n-9) - 9*a(n-10) - 2*a(n-11).
Empirical g.f.: x*(2 + 6*x + 4*x^2 - 6*x^3 + 5*x^4 + 20*x^5 - 3*x^6 - 26*x^7 - 21*x^8 - 3*x^9 + 2*x^10) / (1 - 2*x - 3*x^2 - 2*x^3 - 4*x^4 + 2*x^5 - 3*x^6 - 7*x^7 + x^8 + 10*x^9 + 9*x^10 + 2*x^11). - Colin Barker, Mar 01 2018
