%F The terms a(1)-a(18) are given by a(n) = (8/3)*(4^n - 4) - 9*3^n + 11*2^n + 5. - _John W. Layman_, Jul 20 1999

%F Formula of Layman matches the proven formula in McMorris and Zaslavsky. - _Sean A. Irvine_, Apr 12 2016

%F E.g.f.: (1/3)*(-17*exp(x) + 66*exp(2*x) - 81*exp(3*x) + 32*exp(4*x)). - _Ilya Gutkovskiy_, Apr 12 2016

%p A005174:=2*z**2*(5+12*z)/(z-1)/(3*z-1)/(2*z-1)/(4*z-1); # conjectured by _Simon Plouffe_ in his 1992 dissertation
