FORMULA
a(n) = 8905 + 2^(n)*(10560*n + 21528) + 4^(n)*(11520*n + 3648). Replacing n with n+1, we obtain the expression given in Theorem 1 of the Ashrafi et al. reference.
G.f.: (34081 - 309300*x + 1048900*x^2 - 1488480*x^3 + 794944*x^4)/((1-x)*(1-2*x)^2*(1-4*x)^2).
MAPLE
a := proc (n) options operator, arrow: 8905+2^n*(10560*n+21528)+4^n*(11520*n+3648) end proc: seq(a(n), n = 0 .. 22);
