FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-2) + 4*a(n-3) + a(n-4) + 3*a(n-5) + 8*a(n-6) + a(n-7) - 3*a(n-8) - a(n-9) for n>10.
Empirical g.f.: x*(3 + 9*x - 2*x^2 + 23*x^3 + 7*x^4 + 12*x^5 + 10*x^6 - 10*x^7 - 8*x^8 - x^9) / (1 - 3*x + 2*x^2 - 4*x^3 - x^4 - 3*x^5 - 8*x^6 - x^7 + 3*x^8 + x^9). - Colin Barker, Jan 31 2019
