FORMULA

Empirical: a(n) = 3*a(n-1) + 7*a(n-2) - 14*a(n-3) - 11*a(n-4) + 17*a(n-5) + 5*a(n-6) - 6*a(n-7) for n>11.

Empirical g.f.: x*(1 - 2*x - 2*x^2 + 11*x^3 - 8*x^4 - 6*x^5 + 14*x^6 - 18*x^7 - 3*x^8 + 18*x^9 - 8*x^10) / ((1 - x)*(1 + x)*(1 - 3*x - 6*x^2 + 11*x^3 + 5*x^4 - 6*x^5)). - Colin Barker, Aug 02 2018
