FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 7*a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) - 92*a(n-3) + 80*a(n-4) + 376*a(n-5) - 360*a(n-6) - 600*a(n-7) + 400*a(n-8) + 320*a(n-9).
Empirical g.f.: x*(81 - 322*x - 1100*x^2 + 4120*x^3 + 5288*x^4 - 14656*x^5 - 11416*x^6 + 15792*x^7 + 9664*x^8) / ((1 - 4*x)*(1 - 2*x^2)*(1 - 3*x - 2*x^2)*(1 - 10*x^2 + 20*x^4)). - Colin Barker, Oct 21 2018
