A061038(n), which appears in 4*a(n) formula, is a permutation of n^2.
Origin. In December 2010, I wrote in my 192-page Exercise Book no. 5, page 41, the array (difference table of the first row):
1 0, 1/3, 1, 9/5, 8/3, 25/7, 9/2, 49/9, ...
-1, 1/3, 2/3, 4/5, 13/15, 19/21, 13/14, 17/18, 43/45, ...
Numerators are listed in A176126, denominators are in A064038, and denominator - numerator = 2, 2, 1, 1,... (A014695).
4/3, 1/3, 2/15, 1/15, 4/105, 1/42, 1/63, 1/90, 4/495, ...
-1, -1/5, -1/15, -1/35, -1/70, -1/126, -1/210, -1/330, -1/495, ...
where the denominators of the second row are listed in A000332.
Also for those of the inverse binomial transform
1, -1, 4/3, -1, 4/5, -2/3, 4/7, -1/2, 4/9, -2/5, 4/11, -1/3, ... ?
a(n) is the (n+1)-th term of the numerators of the first row.

FORMULA
|
a(n) = n^2/(period 4: repeat 2, 1, 4, 1).
a(4n) = 8*n^2, a(2n+1) = a(4n+2) = (2*n+1)^2.
a(n) = 3*a(n-4) - 3*a(n-8) + a(n-12), n>11.
4*a(n) = (period 4: repeat 2, 1, 4, 1) * A061038(n).
G.f.: -x*(x^10+x^9+9*x^8+8*x^7+22*x^6+6*x^5+22*x^4+8*x^3+9*x^2+x+1) / ((x-1)^3*(x+1)^3*(x^2+1)^3). - Colin Barker, May 14 2015
a(n) = ( 1 - (1/16)*(1+(-1)^n)*(5-(-1)^(n/2)) )*n^2. - Bruno Berselli, May 14 2015
