FORMULA

a(n)=C(n + 6, 6) - 6*C(n + 4, 4) + 6*C(n + 3, 3) + 3*C(n + 2, 2) - 6*C(n + 1, 1) + 2*C(n, 0).

a(0)=2, a(1)=17, a(2)=71, a(3)=212, a(4)=518, a(5)=1106, a(6)=2142, a(n)=7*a(n-1)-21*a(n-2)+35*a(n-3)-35*a(n-4)+21*a(n-5)- 7*a(n-6)+ a(n-7) [From Harvey P. Dale, Jul 12 2011]

G.f.: (-2-3*x+6*x^2-2*x^3)/(x-1)^7 [From Harvey P. Dale, Jul 12 2011]
