FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 69*a(n-2) + 248*a(n-3) + 225*a(n-4) - 1296*a(n-5) - 4293*a(n-6) + 1656*a(n-7) + 9072*a(n-8) for n>9.
Empirical g.f.: x*(15 + 110*x - 11*x^2 - 1416*x^3 - 5023*x^4 - 4022*x^5 + 19371*x^6 + 26664*x^7 - 3024*x^8) / ((1 - 3*x^2)*(1 - 66*x^2 - 248*x^3 - 423*x^4 + 552*x^5 + 3024*x^6)). - Colin Barker, Mar 03 2018
