FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{j=1..floor(n/3)} Sum_{i=j..floor((n-j)/2)} i * (i mod 2).
From Colin Barker, Aug 23 2019: (Start)
G.f.: x^3*(1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4)*(1 - 2*x + 3*x^2 - 4*x^3 + 6*x^4 - 4*x^5 + 3*x^6 - 2*x^7 + x^8) / ((1 - x)^4*(1 + x)^2*(1 - x + x^2)^2*(1 + x^2)^2*(1 + x + x^2)^2).
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + 4*a(n-3) - 3*a(n-4) + 2*a(n-5) + a(n-6) - 4*a(n-7) + 6*a(n-8) - 8*a(n-9) + 6*a(n-10) - 4*a(n-11) + a(n-12) + 2*a(n-13) - 3*a(n-14) + 4*a(n-15) - 3*a(n-16) + 2*a(n-17) - a(n-18) for n>17.
