FORMULA
G.f.: (-2*x^18 + 3*x^16 + 3*x^15 + 6*x^14 + 6*x^13 + 9*x^12 + 9*x^11 + 12*x^10 + 12*x^9 + 12*x^8 + 12*x^7 + 10*x^6 + 9*x^5 + 7*x^4 + 6*x^3 + 4*x^2 + 3*x + 1)/(x^16 - x^12 - 2*x^10 - 4*x^8 - 2*x^6 - x^4 + 1).
a(n) = a(n-4) + 2*a(n-6) + 4*a(n-8) + 2*a(n-10) + a(n-12) - a(n-16) for n>16. - Colin Barker, Feb 06 2018
