COMMENTS
This is based on the formula in Burnside, Section 267, at the foot of page 363. Unfortunately there is a typo in the formula - the term with numerator 21 should have denominator (1+x)(1-x^3). This produces a sequence with 4's in the denominators. Multiplying by 4 gives a sequence of integers, shown here. This is included in the OEIS in accordance with our policy of publishing incorrect sequences together with pointers to the correct versions. - N. J. A. Sloane, Feb 21 2012

FORMULA
A precise definition is: Take the generating function as given by Burnside, expand as a Taylor series, and multiply by 4.
Expansion of (-4 - x + 2 x^3 + x^4 - 2 x^5 - 2 x^6 + 2 x^7 + 3 x^8 + 2 x^9 - 3 x^11)/(-1 + x^3 (1 + x - x^7 - x^8 + x^11))
