%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Apr 03 2016: (Start)

%F a(n) = (11-(-1)^n+4*(-1)^n*n-4*(-1+(-1)^n)*n^2)/2 for n>4.

%F a(n) = 2*n+5 for n>4 and even.

%F a(n) = 4*n^2-2*n+6 for n>4 and odd.

%F a(n) = 3*a(n-2)-3*a(n-4)+a(n-6) for n>8.

%F G.f.: (1+4*x+2*x^2+24*x^3-3*x^4+4*x^6+4*x^7-8*x^8+4*x^10) / ((1-x)^3*(1+x)^3).
