FORMULA
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-7) - a(n-8) for n>8.
G.f.: x^2*(1+2*x+2*x^2+2*x^3+x^4+3*x^5+x^6) / ( (x^6+x^5+x^4+x^3+x^2+x+1)*(x-1)^2 ). - R. J. Mathar, Jun 11 2011
a(n) = floor(12*n/7) - floor((n mod 7)/6) - floor(((n+3) mod 7)/5). - Rolf Pleisch, Jun 12 2011
From Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jul 21 2016: (Start)
a(n) = a(n-7) + 12 for n>7.
a(n) = (84*n - 91 - 9*(n mod 7) + 5*((n+1) mod 7) - 2*((n+2) mod 7) - 2*((n+3) mod 7) - 2*((n+4) mod 7) + 5*((n+5) mod 7) + 5*((n+6) mod 7))/49.
a(7k) = 12k-1, a(7k-1) = 12k-4, a(7k-2) = 12k-5, a(7k-3) = 12k-7, a(7k-4) = 12k-9, a(7k-5) = 12k-11, a(7k-6) = 12k-12. (End)
