COMMENTS

2 X 2 matrices with entries mod n, up to row and column permutation. Number of k X l matrices with entries mod n, up to row and column permutation is Z(S_k X S_l; n,n,...) where Z(S_k X S_l; x_1,x_2,...) is cycle index of Cartesian product of symmetric groups S_k and S_l of degree k and l, respectively - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Nov 04 2000

If a 2-set Y and a 3-set Z are disjoint subsets of an n-set X then a(n-5) is the number of 6-subsets of X intersecting both Y and Z. - Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Sep 08 2007

FORMULA

a(n)=(1/4)*n^2*(n^2+3).

a(1)=1, a(2)=7, a(3)=27, a(4)=76, a(5)=175, a(n)=5*a(n-1)-10*a(n-2)+ 10*a(n-3)-5*a(n-4)+a(n-5) [From Harvey P. Dale, Oct 01 2011]

G.f.: (-1-2*x-2*x^2-x^3)/(x-1)^5 [From Harvey P. Dale, Oct 01 2011]

EXAMPLE

a(1)=1, a(4)=76.
