FORMULA
Empirical (for n>=2): a(n) = 7*2^(n/2-1)*((3*sqrt(2)-4)*(-1)^n-3*sqrt(2)-4) + (-2)^(n-1) + 37*2^(n-1) + 2^(3*n/2-1)*((4-3*sqrt(2))*(-1)^n+3*sqrt(2)+4)-6. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 30 2012
Empirical G.f.: 12-2*x + 2*(-6 + 7*x + 104*x^2 - 40*x^3 - 482*x^4 - 32*x^5 + 512*x^6)/((-1+x)*(-1+2*x)*(1+2*x)*(-1+2*x^2)*(-1+8*x^2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 30 2012
