FORMULA

3*(3^n-2*2^n+1)/2 + 113*(4^n-3*3^n+3*2^n-1)/6 + 625*(5^n-4*4^n+6*3^n-4*2^n+1)/24. - formula fitted by John W. Layman.
a(n) = (125/24) * 5^n - (64/3) * 4^n + (135/4)*3^n - (76/3) * 2^n + 209/24 proven in McMorris and Zaslavsky, matches Layman's formula with an offset of 1. - Sean A. Irvine, Apr 12 2016
E.g.f.: (1/24)*exp(x)*(-1 + exp(x))^2*(209 - 798*exp(x) + 625*exp(2*x)). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Apr 12 2016
