COMMENTS

If Y is an (n-3)-subset of an n-set X then, for n>=5, a(n-5) is the number of 4-subsets of X having at least two elements in common with Y. - Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Dec 16 2007

This equation represents the number of numbers with <=n digits such that the sum of the digits is between 1 and 4 inclusive and no digit is larger than 3. [From David Consiglio, Jr. (davecons2002(AT)yahoo.com), Oct 27 2008]
