FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - a(n-3) + 2*a(n-4) - 6*a(n-5) - 8*a(n-6) + 13*a(n-7) + 6*a(n-8) - 6*a(n-9) - 2*a(n-10) - 5*a(n-11) - 4*a(n-12) + 2*a(n-13) + 2*a(n-14) - a(n-15) + a(n-16) + 3*a(n-17) + 2*a(n-19) for n > 19. - Andrew Howroyd, Aug 05 2017
Empirical g.f.: x*(3 - 4*x + 9*x^2 + 12*x^3 - 46*x^4 - 20*x^5 + 11*x^6 + 28*x^7 - 18*x^8 - 8*x^9 + 21*x^10 - 4*x^11 + 18*x^12 + 8*x^13 - 15*x^14 + 4*x^15 + 23*x^16 + 14*x^18) / ((1 - x)*(1 - x^2 + x^4 + x^6)*(1 - 2*x - x^2 - 3*x^3 - 5*x^4 + 2*x^5 + 6*x^6 + 5*x^7 + 4*x^8 + 4*x^9 + 3*x^10 + 2*x^11 + 2*x^12)). - Colin Barker, Aug 05 2017
