FORMULA
From Colin Barker, Jun 19 2016: (Start)
a(n) = (6*(-9 + (-1)^n) + (25 + 3*(-1)^n)*n + 12*n^2 + 2*n^3)/12.
a(n) = (n^3 + 6*n^2 + 14*n - 24)/6 for n even.
a(n) = (n^3 + 6*n^2 + 11*n - 30)/6 for n odd.
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + a(n-2) - 4*a(n-3) + a(n-4) + 2*a(n-5) - a(n-6) for n>7.
G.f.: 2*x^2*(3 + x - x^2 - 2*x^3 + x^5) / ((1-x)^4*(1+x)^2).
(End)
