FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 9*a(n-1) - 33*a(n-2) + 63*a(n-3) - 66*a(n-4) + 36*a(n-5) - 8*a(n-6) for n>8.
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Sep 21 2018: (Start)
G.f.: x*(1 + 51*x + 91*x^2 - 1118*x^3 + 1706*x^4 - 176*x^5 - 612*x^6 - 64*x^7) / ((1 - x)^3*(1 - 2*x)^3).
a(n) = (2*(1732+117*2^n) + (-4084+279*2^n)*n + (484+9*2^n)*n^2) / 8 for n>2.
