COMMENTS

Number of edges in the join of two complete graphs of order n^2 and n, K_n^2 * K_n - Roberto E. Martinez II (remartin(AT)fas.harvard.edu), Jan 07 2002

a(n) is equal to the partial sums of A007588, stella octangula numbers: n(2n^2 - 1). - Jonathan Vos Post, Mar 15 2006

Contribution from Peter Luschny, Jul 12 2009: (Start)

The general formula for alternating sums of powers is in terms of the Swiss-Knife polynomials P(n,x) A153641 2^(-n-1)(P(n,1)-(-1)^k P(n,2k+1)). Thus

a(k) = |2^(-5)(P(4,1)-(-1)^k P(4,2k+1))|. (End)

FORMULA

a(n) = n(n+1)(n^2+n-1)/2 = n^4-a(n-1) = A000583(n)-a(n) = A000217(A028387(n-1)) = A000217(n)*A028387(n-1).

a(n) = SUM[i=0..n] A007588(i). a(n) = SUM[i=0..n] n*(2*n^2 - 1). a(n) = SUM[i=0..n] (1/6)*(12*n^3-6*n), n>0. - Jonathan Vos Post, Mar 15 2006

a(0)=0, a(1)=1, a(2)=15, a(3)=66, a(4)=190, 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 19 2011]
