FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 5*a(n-2) + 4*a(n-3) - 3*a(n-4) - 12*a(n-5) - 3*a(n-6) + 6*a(n-7) + 6*a(n-8) + 2*a(n-9) for n>10.
Empirical g.f.: x*(1 + 17*x + x^2 - 13*x^3 - 41*x^4 + 4*x^5 + 23*x^6 + 20*x^7 + 2*x^8 - x^9) / (1 - 5*x^2 - 4*x^3 + 3*x^4 + 12*x^5 + 3*x^6 - 6*x^7 - 6*x^8 - 2*x^9). - Colin Barker, Oct 05 2018
