FORMULA
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Mar 22 2017: (Start)
G.f.: (1 - 9*x + 91*x^2 - 909*x^3 + 10090*x^4 + 100*x^5 - 1000*x^6 - 90000*x^7 - 9000000*x^8 - 900000000*x^9 + 10000000000*x^10 + 1000000000*x^13 - 10000000000*x^14) / ((1 - x)*(1 + x)*(1 - 10*x)*(1 + x^2)).
a(n) = 10*a(n-1) + a(n-4) - 10*a(n-5) for n>4.
