FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 7*a(n-1) + 29*a(n-2) - 15*a(n-3) - 116*a(n-4) + 17*a(n-5) + 99*a(n-6) + 12*a(n-7) - 16*a(n-8) for n>9.
Empirical g.f.: x*(7 - 15*x - 123*x^2 - 25*x^3 + 500*x^4 + 71*x^5 - 473*x^6 - 95*x^7 + 84*x^8) / (1 - 7*x - 29*x^2 + 15*x^3 + 116*x^4 - 17*x^5 - 99*x^6 - 12*x^7 + 16*x^8). - Colin Barker, Oct 02 2018
