COMMENTS

Number of proper n-colorings of the 4-cycle with one vertex color fixed (offset 2). - Michael Somos, Jul 19 2002

n such that x^3 + x^2 + x + n factors over the integers. - James Buddenhagen (jbuddenh(AT)gmail.com), Apr 19 2005

If Y is a 4-subset of an n-set X then, for n>=5, a(n-5) is the number of 5-subsets of X having at least two elements in common with Y. - Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Dec 08 2007

Equals row sums of the Connell (A001614) sequence as a triangle:/Q 1;/Q 2, 4;/Q 5, 7, 9;/Q 10, 12, 14, 16;/Q ... [From Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Sep 01 2008]

FORMULA

a(n) = (n + 1)*(n^2 + n + 1)

a(n)=(n+1)^3-2*T(n) where T(n) is the n-th triangular number: n*(n+1)/2 (A000217) 1^3-2x0=1; 2^3-2x1=6; 3^3-2x3=21; 4^3-2x6=52; 5^3-2*10=105 - Herman Jamke (hermanjamke(AT)fastmail.fm), Sep 14 2006

a(n)= n^8 mod (n^3+n), with offset 1..a(1)=1 [From Gary Detlefs, May 02 2010]

a(0)=1, a(1)=6, a(2)=21, a(3)=52, a(n)=4*a(n-1)-6*a(n-2)+ 4*a(n-3)- a(n-4) [From Harvey P. Dale, Jul 11 2011]

G.f.: (1+2*x+3*x^2)/(1-x)^4 [From Harvey P. Dale, Jul 11 2011]

EXAMPLE

For 2-colorings only 1212 is proper so a(2-2)=1. The proper 3-colorings are: 1212,1313,1213,1312,1232,1323 so a(3-2)=6.

MAPLE
