Let y = 2*n - 1; Then apparently a(n) = y^2*(529*y^6 + 910*y^4 + 721*y^2 + 360)/2520. See A068745 (4 X 4) and A063496 (2 X 2), which is y*(2*y^2 + 1)/3 under the same transformation. Suggests total degree N X N-1, with a factor y or y^2 to make the remaining polynomial even. - R. H. Hardin, Jan 02 2007

Empirical G.f.: -(x^8+1656*x^7 +72876*x^6 +522760*x^5 +972198*x^4 +522760*x^3 +72876*x^2 +1656*x +1)/(x-1)^9. [Colin Barker, Jul 31 2012]
Empirical: 315*a(n) = (4232*n^6 +12696*n^5 +17690*n^4 +14220*n^3 +7058*n^2 +2064*n +315) *(1+2*n)^2. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 09 2018
