FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 10*a(n-1) - 33*a(n-2) + 61*a(n-3) - 78*a(n-4) + 64*a(n-5) - 32*a(n-6) + 9*a(n-7) - a(n-8) for n>9.
Empirical g.f.: x*(2 - 16*x + 48*x^2 - 85*x^3 + 105*x^4 - 82*x^5 + 40*x^6 - 11*x^7 + x^8) / (1 - 10*x + 33*x^2 - 61*x^3 + 78*x^4 - 64*x^5 + 32*x^6 - 9*x^7 + x^8). - Colin Barker, Feb 11 2019
