FORMULA
Stankova and West give an explicit recurrence.
a(n) = A058094(n) - A058094(n-1) for n >= 3. - Emeric Deutsch, May 04 2004
From Colin Barker, Aug 20 2019: (Start)
G.f.: x^3*(1 - 2*x + x^2 - x^3 - x^4) / (1 - 6*x + 11*x^2 - 9*x^3 + 4*x^4 + 4*x^5 - x^6).
a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - 11*a(n-2) + 9*a(n-3) - 4*a(n-4) - 4*a(n-5) + a(n-6) for n>7.
