A072888 Sum of the coefficients of the Schur function expansion of the square of the Vandermonde determinant in n variables. 2
-2, -14, 70, 910, -7280, -138320, 1521520, 38038000, -532532000 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)
OFFSET

2,1

COMMENTS

The expansion is combinatorially explosive. The original output is available from my website given above as well as further details.

FORMULA

I conjecture that $$a(n)= \prod_{x=0}^{[n/2]}(-3x+1)\prod_{x=0}^{[(n-1)/2]}(6x+1)

EXAMPLE

a(3) = -14 because V^2(x1,x2,x3) = {42}-3{411}-3{33}+6{321}-15{222}

PROG

The expansions were evaluated using the programme SCHUR.
