Empirical: a(n) = 6*a(n-1) -12*a(n-2) +19*a(n-3) -32*a(n-4) +15*a(n-5) -13*a(n-6) +13*a(n-7) +10*a(n-8) +7*a(n-9) +5*a(n-10) +a(n-11).
Empirical g.f.: x*(1 - 3*x + 3*x^2 - 15*x^3 + 14*x^4 + 5*x^5 + 26*x^6 + 18*x^7 + 12*x^8 + 6*x^9 + x^10) / (1 - 6*x + 12*x^2 - 19*x^3 + 32*x^4 - 15*x^5 + 13*x^6 - 13*x^7 - 10*x^8 - 7*x^9 - 5*x^10 - x^11). - Colin Barker, Jun 04 2018
