FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 4*a(n-1) + 10*a(n-2) - 32*a(n-3) - 47*a(n-4) + 40*a(n-5) + 38*a(n-6) - 12*a(n-7) - 9*a(n-8) for n>10.
Empirical g.f.: 2*x*(18 - 22*x - 157*x^2 + 332*x^3 + 794*x^4 - 238*x^5 - 734*x^6 - 72*x^7 + 189*x^8 + 54*x^9) / (1 - 2*x - 7*x^2 + 2*x^3 + 3*x^4)^2. - Colin Barker, Jan 15 2019
