FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 10*a(n-1) - 37*a(n-2) + 65*a(n-3) - 51*a(n-4) + 2*a(n-5) + 20*a(n-6) - 10*a(n-7) + 4*a(n-8) for n>11.
Empirical g.f.: 2*x^2*(4 - 21*x + 34*x^2 - 51*x^4 + 32*x^5 + 16*x^6 - 10*x^7 + x^8 - x^9) / ((1 - 2*x)*(1 - 8*x + 21*x^2 - 23*x^3 + 5*x^4 + 8*x^5 - 4*x^6 + 2*x^7)). - Colin Barker, Sep 22 2018
