FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{j=1..floor(n/3)} Sum_{i=j..floor((n-j)/2)} (i mod 2).
From Colin Barker, Aug 23 2019: (Start)
G.f.: x^3*(1 - x + x^2 - x^3 + x^4) / ((1 - x)^3*(1 + x)*(1 - x + x^2)*(1 + x^2)*(1 + x + x^2)).
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-2) + 2*a(n-3) - a(n-4) + a(n-6) - 2*a(n-7) + 2*a(n-8) - 2*a(n-9) + a(n-10) for n>9.
