Table of n, a(n) for n=3..35.

Formula

Empirical g.f.: -4*x^3*(8*x^3+4*x^2-2*x+1) / ((2*x+1)*(4*x^2-2*x+1)^2). - Colin Barker, Jun 20 2013

Example

Det({ {1, 1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1}, {1, 1, 1, -1, -1, -1, -1}, {-1, 1, 1, 1, -1, -1, -1}, {-1, -1, 1, 1, 1, -1, -1}, {-1, -1, -1, 1, 1, 1, -1}, {-1, -1, -1, -1, 1, 1, 1}, {-1, -1, -1, -1, -1, 1, 1} }=-64 => a(7)=-64
