Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (13,-78,286,-715,1287,-1716,1716,-1287,715,-286,78,-13,1).
FORMULA
G.f.: 11*(5+x)*x^9/(1-x)^13.
a(n) = C(n+1, 10)*C(n+2, 2). - Zerinvary Lajos, Apr 28 2005; corrected by R. J. Mathar, Mar 15 2016
From Amiram Eldar, Feb 01 2022: (Start)
Sum_{n>=9} 1/a(n) = 5226139/158760 - 10*Pi^2/3.
Sum_{n>=9} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 5*Pi^2/3 + 40960*log(2)/63 - 74154901/158760. (End)
