[Empirical] a(base,n)=a(base-1,n)+A002426(n+1) for base>=1.int(n/2)+1

a(n) = T(n, 14) where T(n, k) = Sum_{j=1..k} (1+2*cos(j*Pi/(k+1)))^n. These are the number of smooth cyclic words of length n over the alphabet {1,2,..,14}. See theorem 3.3 in Knopfmacher and others, reference in A124696. - Peter Luschny, Aug 13 2012
