FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 7*a(n-1) - 18*a(n-2) + 17*a(n-3) + 8*a(n-4) - 29*a(n-5) + 18*a(n-6) + 3*a(n-7) - 7*a(n-8) + 2*a(n-9).
Empirical g.f.: 2*x*(144 - 610*x + 811*x^2 + 195*x^3 - 1408*x^4 + 1026*x^5 + 137*x^6 - 421*x^7 + 128*x^8) / ((1 - x)^5*(1 + x)*(1 - 2*x)*(1 - x - x^2)). - Colin Barker, Nov 20 2018
