FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - 12*a(n-2) + 5*a(n-3) + 12*a(n-4) - 12*a(n-5) - 3*a(n-6) + 6*a(n-7) - a(n-9) for n>12.
Empirical g.f.: x*(2 + 75*x - 173*x^2 - 84*x^3 + 213*x^4 + 193*x^5 - 84*x^6 - 209*x^7 + 64*x^8 + 25*x^9 - 76*x^10 + 2*x^11) / ((1 - x)^3*(1 - x - x^2)^3). - Colin Barker, Feb 13 2019
