FORMULA
Faase gives a 6-term linear recurrence on his web page:
a(1) = 12,
a(2) = 408,
a(3) = 6648,
a(4) = 90672,
a(5) = 1103088,
a(6) = 12509256,
a(7) = 135409896 and
a(n) = 23a(n-1) - 173a(n-2) + 421a(n-3) + 62a(n-4) - 132a(n-5) + 24a(n-6).
G.f.: 12*x*(24*x^6-164*x^5+398*x^4-275*x^3+55*x^2-11*x-1)/((2*x^2-7*x+1)^2*(6*x^2+9*x-1)). [Colin Barker, Aug 30 2012]
