FORMULA

Empirical: a(n) = (1/13440)*n^8 + (1/10080)*n^7 + (1/576)*n^6 + (119/720)*n^5 - (9659/5760)*n^4 + (18247/1440)*n^3 - (50047/2016)*n^2 + (6437/840)*n + 13 for n>3.

Conjectures from Colin Barker, Jul 26 2018: (Start)

G.f.: x*(10 - 67*x + 221*x^2 - 413*x^3 + 424*x^4 - 153*x^5 - 91*x^6 + 35*x^7 + 124*x^8 - 129*x^9 + 49*x^10 - 7*x^11) / (1 - x)^9.

a(n) = 9*a(n-1) - 36*a(n-2) + 84*a(n-3) - 126*a(n-4) + 126*a(n-5) - 84*a(n-6) + 36*a(n-7) - 9*a(n-8) + a(n-9) for n>12.
