COMMENTS

Binomial transform of [1, 10, 17, 8, 0, 0, 0,...] = (1, 11, 38, 90,...). [From Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Mar 18 2009]

a(n) = A000384(n)*n - sum[k=0..n-1]A000384(k) = n^2*(2*n-1)-sum[k=0..n-1)k*(2*k-1)=n*(n+1)*(8*n-5)/6, for d=4 in the general formula a(n)=n^2*(d*n-d+2)/2-sum[k=0..n-1]k*(d*k-d+2)/2=n*(n+1)*(2*d*n-2*d+3)/6. [From Bruno Berselli (berselli.bruno(AT)yahoo.it), Apr 21 2010]

FORMULA

a(n)= (8*n-5)*binomial(n+1, 2)/3. G.f.: x*(1+7*x)/(1-x)^4.

a(n)=(8*n^3+3*n^2-5*n)/6 with n>=0 [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Aug 01 2010]

a(0)=0, a(1)=1, a(2)=11, a(3)=38, a(n)=4*a(n-1)-6*a(n-2)+4*a(n-3)- a(n-4) [From Harvey P. Dale, Dec 20 2011]

G.f.: (7*x^2+x)/(x-1)^4 [From Harvey P. Dale, Dec 20 2011]

EXAMPLE

For n=0, a(0)=0; n=1, a(1)=6/6=1; n=2, a(2)=66/6=11; [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Aug 01 2010]
