FORMULA

G.f.:-x^5(8x^5-6x^4+10x^3-128x^2-114x-13)/((1-x)^6).

a(n)=81/40n^5-135/4n^4+1719/8n^3-2487/4n^2+3463/5n, n>4.

MAPLE

r := n->81/40*n^5-135/4*n^4+1719/8*n^3-2487/4*n^2+3463/5*n; seq(r(n), n=5..40);

A000563:=-(-13-114*z-128*z**2+10*z**3-6*z**4+8*z**5)/(z-1)**6; [Conjectured by S. Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation.]
