FORMULA
G.f.: x*(3+11*x+9*x^2+9*x^3)/(1-x^2)^3.
a(n) = 3*a(n-2)-3*a(n-4)+a(n-6).
a(n) = n*(4*n+(n-1)*(-1)^n+2)/2.
a(n) = A000217(2n) +(-1)^n*A000217(n-1) with A000217(-1)=0.
a(2n-1) = A094159(n) for n>0; a(2n) = A055437(n) for A055437(0)=0.
EXAMPLE
a(6) = 6^2-7^2+8^2-9^2+10^2-11^2+12^2 = 93.
a(7) = -7^2+8^2-9^2+10^2-11^2+12^2-13^2+14^2 = 84.
MATHEMATICA
Table[Sum[i^2 (-1)^i, {i, n, 2 n}], {n, 0, 50}]
PROG
