FORMULA
E.g.f.: -(x^3+x^2+x+2)/(-1+x^4)
Recurrence: {a(1)=1, a(3)=6, a(2)=2, a(0)=2, (-n^4-35*n^2-50*n-24-10*n^3)*a(n)+a(n+4)=0}
Sum(1/4*(_alpha^3+_alpha^2+2*_alpha+1)*_alpha^(-1-n), _alpha=RootOf(-1+_Z^4))*n!
2n! if n is 0 mod 4, n! otherwise.
a(n)=n!*A177704(n+3). - R. J. Mathar, Jun 03 2022

spec := [S, {S=Union(Sequence(Z), Sequence(Prod(Z, Z, Z, Z)))}, labeled]: seq(combstruct[count](spec, size=n), n=0..20);
