FORMULA

a(n)=1/6*(n-5)*(n^2+8*n-66)

Equals binomial transform of (3, 10, 8, 1, 0, 0, 0,...). - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Jul 03 2008

a(6)=3, a(7)=13, a(8)=31, a(9)=58, a(n)=4*a(n-1)-6*a(n-2)+4*a(n-3)- a(n-4) [From Harvey P. Dale, Oct 22 2011]

G.f.: (-3*x^2+x+3)/(x-1)^4 [From Harvey P. Dale, Oct 22 2011]
