FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = (4096/3)*n^3 - 18720*n^2 + (269642/3)*n - 149376 for n>6.
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Dec 07 2018: (Start)
G.f.: x*(8 + 2*x + 65*x^2 + 271*x^3 + 1013*x^4 + 2340*x^5 + 2849*x^6 + 1331*x^7 + 293*x^8 + 20*x^9) / (1 - x)^4.
a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 6*a(n-2) + 4*a(n-3) - a(n-4) for n>10.
