FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-2) + 2*a(n-4) - 3*a(n-5) + a(n-6) + a(n-7) - 2*a(n-8) + 2*a(n-9) - a(n-11) + a(n-12) - a(n-13).
Empirical g.f.: x*(2 - x - 2*x^4 + x^5 + x^6 - x^7 + 2*x^8 - x^9 - x^10 - x^12) / ((1 - x)*(1 + x)*(1 + x^2)*(1 - 2*x + x^2 - x^4 + x^5 - x^7 + x^8 - x^9)). - Colin Barker, Aug 16 2018
