FORMULA
Let k be the smallest integer>n^3 such that A070923(k-1)> A070923(k) and such that A070923(k) < A070923(k+1), then a(n)= A070923(k); for n>=1 a(2n-1) = 8n^3-9n^2+6n-1, a(2n)=3n^2+1.
From Chai Wah Wu, Jul 27 2020: (Start)
a(n) = 4*a(n-2) - 6*a(n-4) + 4*a(n-6) - a(n-8) for n > 8.
G.f.: x*(-x^7 + x^6 + 20*x^4 - 3*x^3 + 23*x^2 + 4*x + 4)/((x - 1)^4*(x + 1)^4). (End)
EXAMPLE
Let n=2 then n^3=8 and A070923(9)= 44, A070923(10)=25, A070923(11)=4, A070923(12)=72 so the first minimum is 4, hence a(2)=4
