FORMULA

a(-6-n)=-a(n). - Michael Somos May 12 2005

binomial(n,3)+binomial(n,2)-n, n>=3. - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Jul 23 2006

G.f.: (1+2*x-3*x^2+x^3)/(1-x)^4. a(n) = a(n-1)+A000096(n+1) = A005581(n+2)-1. - Henry Bottomley, Oct 25 2001

(m^3-7*m)/6 for m >= 3 gives the same sequence. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jul 15 2011

MAPLE
