%F Empirical: Recurrence: a(n) = a(n-14) - 4*a(n-13) + a(n-12) + 16*a(n-11) - 19*a(n-10) - 20*a(n-9) + 45*a(n-8) - 45*a(n-6) + 20*a(n-5) + 19*a(n-4) - 16*a(n-3) - a(n-2) + 4*a(n-1).

%F Empirical: G.f.: 16*x^4*(49 + 2335*x + 18119*x^2 + 65761*x^3 + 125593*x^4 + 154411*x^5 + 109333*x^6 + 52763*x^7 + 12090*x^8 + 1722*x^9)/((1-x)^9*(1+x)^5).

%F Empirical: a(n) = 6421/16 - 581677*n/210 + 2022619*n^2/315 - 340262*n^3/45 + 1915471*n^4/360 - 106466*n^5/45 + 29363*n^6/45 - 31916*n^7/315 + 16943*n^8/2520 + (-1)^n*(-6421/16 + 1645*n/2 - 557*n^2 + 155*n^3 - 123*n^4/8).
