FORMULA
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Mar 30 2016: (Start)
a(n) = (-3+13*(-1)^n-4*(-1+(-1)^n)*n-4*(-1+(-1)^n)*n^2)/2 for n>1.
a(n) = 5 for n>1 and even.
a(n) = 4*n^2+4*n-8 for n>1 and odd.
a(n) = 3*a(n-2)-3*a(n-4)+a(n-6) for n>7.
G.f.: (1+5*x+2*x^2+25*x^3-7*x^4+7*x^5+4*x^6-5*x^7) / ((1-x)^3*(1+x)^3).
