FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) + 6*a(n-3) + 5*a(n-4) + a(n-5) - 2*a(n-6) - 2*a(n-7) - a(n-8) for n>9.
Empirical g.f.: 2*x*(65 + 71*x + 145*x^2 + 72*x^3 - 26*x^4 - 79*x^5 - 52*x^6 - 16*x^7 + 7*x^8) / (1 - x - 2*x^2 - 6*x^3 - 5*x^4 - x^5 + 2*x^6 + 2*x^7 + x^8). - Colin Barker, Dec 03 2018
