Conjectures from Colin Barker, Jan 02 2016 and Apr 18 2019: (Start)
a(n) = 21*a(n-2)-84*a(n-4)+64*a(n-6) for n>7.
G.f.: (1+2*x-7*x^2+23*x^3-154*x^4+602*x^5+160*x^6-672*x^7) / ((1-x)*(1+x)*(1-2*x)*(1+2*x)*(1-4*x)*(1+4*x)).
(End)
Conjecture: a(n) = 2*4^n - 31*2^(n-2) - 1 for odd n > 1; a(n) = 7*2^(n-1) for even n > 1. - Karl V. Keller, Jr., Oct 06 2021
