FORMULA
From Colin Barker, Nov 19 2017: (Start)
G.f.: (1 + 4*x + 41*x^2 + 127*x^3 + 41*x^4 - 4*x^5 + x^6 - x^7) / ((1 - 16*x^2 + x^4)*(1 + 16*x^2 + x^4)).
a(n) = 254*a(n-4) - a(n-8) for n > 7.
(End)
The proof of the g.f. runs like the one given for the denominators in A294973. The recurrence for a(n) is the same but the input is now a(0) = b(0) = 1 and a(-1) = 1, (a(-2) = 0). - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 19 2017
