FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) + 9*a(n-3) + 6*a(n-4) - 3*a(n-5) - 10*a(n-6) - 17*a(n-7) - 7*a(n-8) + 12*a(n-9) + 12*a(n-10) - 6*a(n-11).
Empirical g.f.: x*(1 + 8*x + 12*x^2 + x^3 - 9*x^4 - 22*x^5 - 26*x^6 + 5*x^7 + 24*x^8 + 6*x^9 - 6*x^10) / (1 - x - 2*x^2 - 9*x^3 - 6*x^4 + 3*x^5 + 10*x^6 + 17*x^7 + 7*x^8 - 12*x^9 - 12*x^10 + 6*x^11). - Colin Barker, Mar 27 2018
