Let M_n be the n X n matrix M_(i,j) = i^2-j^2. Then the characteristic polynomial of M_n is x^n+a(n-1)x^(n-2). - Benoit Cloitre, Nov 30 2002

FORMULA
G.f.: -x*(x^3+19*x^2+35*x+9)/(x-1)^7. [Colin Barker, Oct 22 2012]
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). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, May 24 2021
