FORMULA

a(n) = (n^6 - 5*n^4 + 14*n^3 - 14*n^2 + 4*n)/48 + IF(MOD(n, 2) = 1, 2*n^3 - 3*n^2 + 1)/16.
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) + a(n-2) - 11*a(n-3) + 6*a(n-4) + 14*a(n-5) - 14*a(n-6) - 6*a(n-7) + 11*a(n-8) - a(n-9) - 3*a(n-10) + a(n-11).
G.f.: x^2*(1 + 11*x + 30*x^2 + 79*x^3 + 62*x^4 + 55*x^5 + 4*x^6 - x^7 - x^8) / ((1 - x)^7*(1 + x)^4). - Colin Barker, Dec 17 2016
