%F From _Paul Barry_, Jul 12 2005: (Start)

%F G.f.: x^3/((1-2*x-8*x^2)*(1+7*x-8*x^2));

%F a(n) = -5*a(n-1) + 30*a(n-2) + 40*a(n-3) - 64*a(n-4);

%F a(n+3) = (-1)^n*J(n)*J(n+1)*J(n+2)/3, where J(n)=A001045(n). (End)

%F a(n) = T015109(n,3), where T015109 is the triangular array defined by A015109. - _M. F. Hasler_, Nov 04 2012
