%F The coefficient of x^4 in (1-x-x^2)^(-n) is the coefficient of x^4 in (1 + x + 2x^2 + 3x^3 + 5x^4)^n. Using the multinomial theorem one then finds that a(n) = 7n/4 + 59*n^2/24 + 3*n^3/4 + n^4/24. - Pieter Moree (moree(AT)mpim-bonn.mpg.de), Sep 03 2003

%F a(n) = n*(n+1)*(n+3)*(n+14)/4!. - _Alois P. Heinz_, Jan 21 2017
