FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 9*a(n-1) + 59*a(n-2) + 62*a(n-3) - 275*a(n-4) - 257*a(n-5) + 146*a(n-6) + 84*a(n-7) for n>8.
Empirical g.f.: x*(9 - 15*x - 273*x^2 - 603*x^3 + 1375*x^4 + 1668*x^5 - 778*x^6 - 504*x^7) / (1 - 9*x - 59*x^2 - 62*x^3 + 275*x^4 + 257*x^5 - 146*x^6 - 84*x^7). - Colin Barker, Oct 01 2018
