FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) + 6*a(n-3) - 7*a(n-4) - 7*a(n-5) - 5*a(n-6) + 12*a(n-7) + 12*a(n-8) - 12*a(n-9) for n>11.
Empirical g.f.: x*(39 + 6*x - 30*x^2 - 249*x^3 - 24*x^4 + 234*x^5 + 365*x^6 + 11*x^7 - 436*x^8 + 84*x^9 + 12*x^10) / ((1 - x)^2*(1 + x)*(1 - 3*x^3)*(1 - 4*x^3)). - Colin Barker, Dec 05 2018
