FORMULA

a(n) = [x^n] (-x*(2+4*x+4*x^2+3*x^3+3*x^4)/((x+1)*(x^2+1)*(x-1)^3)).

a(n) = n! [x^n] (3*exp(x)-exp(-x)+14*exp(x)*x+16*exp(x)*x^2-2*cos(x)-2*sin(x))/8.

a(n) = a(n-6) - 2*a(n-5) + a(n-4) - a(n-2) + 2*a(n-1) for n >= 6.

(-1)^n*(a(n+3) - 3*a(n+2) + 3*a(n+1) - a(n)) = sqrt(n^2 mod 8) = A007877(n).
