FORMULA
a(0)=0, a(1)=7, a(2)=144, a(3)=504, a(4)=9727, a(6)=187560 and then a(n) = 1298*a(n-3)+648-a(n-6). - Pierre CAMI, Apr 05 2005
G.f.: x*(7+137*x+360*x^2+137*x^3+7*x^4)/((1-x)*(1-11*x+x^2)*(1+11*x+120*x^2+11*x^3+x^4)). - Bruno Berselli, Feb 19 2013
a(n) = a(n-1)+1298*a(n-3)-1298*a(n-4)-a(n-6)+a(n-7). - Bruno Berselli, Feb 19 2013
