FORMULA
(a) G.f. = -(2*x^8-x^7-5*x^6-18*x^5-20*x^4-20*x^3-12*x^2-5*x-1)/((x+1)*(x-1)^2*(x^2+x+1)^2). (b) Satisfies the recurrence {( - 2*n^5 - 13*n^4 - 22*n^3 + 7*n^2 + 30*n)*a(n) + ( - 2*n^5 - 13*n^4 - 25*n^3 + n^2 + 39*n)*a(n + 1) + ( - 6*n^2 + 6*n)*a(n + 2) + (2*n^5 + 7*n^4 + 7*n^3 - 7*n^2 - 9*n)*a(n + 3) + (2*n^5 + 7*n^4 + 4*n^3 - 7*n^2 - 6*n)*a(n + 4) = 0, a(0) = 1, a(1) = 4, a(2) = 8, a(3) = 14, a(4) = 16, a(5) = 26}. - N. J. A. Sloane, Mar 28 2018
Equivalent conjecture: 9*a(n) = 40*n -18*(-1)^n -6*(-1)^n*A076118(n+1) +6*A049347(n) -4*A049347(n-1). - R. J. Mathar, Apr 01 2018
