FORMULA
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Nov 25 2017: (Start)
G.f.: x^5*(3 + 5*x - x^2 - x^3) / ((1 - x)^4*(1 + x)^2).
a(n) = (n-4)*(-5 + (-1)^n - 4*n + 2*n^2) / 8 for n>4.
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>10.
(End)
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n-5} f(k), where f(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} 3 + lcm(k, 2)) (conjecture). - Jon Maiga, Nov 28 2018
