FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 7*a(n-1) - 11*a(n-2) - 9*a(n-3) + 30*a(n-4) - 16*a(n-5) for n>13.
Empirical g.f.: x*(81 - 115*x - 303*x^2 + 39*x^3 - 202*x^4 + 562*x^5 + 1054*x^6 + 106*x^7 - 822*x^8 - 614*x^9 - 46*x^10 + 84*x^11 + 32*x^12) / ((1 - x)*(1 - 2*x)*(1 - 4*x - 3*x^2 + 8*x^3)). - Colin Barker, Mar 03 2018
