Formula

G.f.: (1+x)^9/(1-x)^10.

a(n) = (4*n^9+18*n^8+240*n^7+756*n^6+3612*n^5+7182*n^4+14360*n^3+14724*n^2+ 10134*n+2835)/2835. - Johannes W. Meijer, Jul 14 2013

a(0)=1, a(1)=19, a(2)=181, a(3)=1159, a(4)=5641, a(5)=22363, a(6)=75517, a(7)=224143, a(8)=598417, a(9)=1462563, a(n)=10*a(n-1)-45*a(n-2)+ 120*a(n-3)- 210*a(n-4)+252*a(n-5)-210*a(n-6)+120*a(n-7)-45*a(n-8)+ 10*a(n-9)- a(n-10). - Harvey P. Dale, Jul 25 2013

Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)/(n*a(n-1)*a(n)) = (1 - 1/2 + 1/3 - ... + 1/9) - log(2). - Peter Bala, Mar 23 2024
