FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 2*a(n-1) +7*a(n-2) +8*a(n-3) -2*a(n-4) -33*a(n-5) +2*a(n-6) -6*a(n-7) -14*a(n-8) +a(n-9) +2*a(n-10).
Empirical g.f.: x*(1 + x + 7*x^2 + 2*x^3 - 18*x^4 - 14*x^5 - 17*x^6 + 11*x^7 + 7*x^8 - 2*x^9) / (1 - 2*x - 7*x^2 - 8*x^3 + 2*x^4 + 33*x^5 - 2*x^6 + 6*x^7 + 14*x^8 - x^9 - 2*x^10). - Colin Barker, May 09 2018
