If X is an n-set and Y a fixed 2-subset of X then a(n-6) is equal to the number of (n-6)-subsets of X intersecting Y. - Milan Janjic, Jul 30 2007
a(n-1) = risefac(n+1,6)/6! - risefac(n+1,4)/4! is for n >=1 also the number of independent components of a symmetric traceless tensor of rank 6 and dimension n. Here risefac is the rising factorial. Put a(0) = 0. - Wolfdieter Lang, Dec 10 2015

FORMULA
G.f.: x*(2-x) / (1-x)^7.
a(n) = binomial(n+5, n-1) + binomial(n+4, n-1) = 1/720*n*(n+11)*(n+4)*(n+3)*(n+2)*(n+1).
a(n) = binomial(n,6) + 2*binomial(n,5), n >= 5. - Zerinvary Lajos, Jul 26 2006
a(n+1) = A127672(12+n, n), n >= 0, where A127672 gives the coefficients of Chebyshev's C polynomials. See the Abramowitz-Stegun reference. - Wolfdieter Lang, Dec 10 2015
From G. C. Greubel, Aug 27 2019: (Start)
a(n) = (n+11)*Pochhammer(n, 5)/6!.
E.g.f.: x*(1440 +3240*x +1920*x^2 +420*x^3 +36*x^4 +x^5)*exp(x)/6!. (End)
From Amiram Eldar, Feb 17 2023: (Start)
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 1303391/2134440.
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 4160*log(2)/77 - 78994697/2134440. (End)
