COMMENTS

One of a family of sequences with palindromic generators.

a(n) = (A177058(n+3)+A177058(n+2))/2. E.g., a(5) = (A177058(8)+A177058(7))/2 = (323+199)/2 = 261. [From Bruno Berselli (berselli.bruno(AT)yahoo.it), Jun 04 2010]

FORMULA

a(n)=(2n^3+9n^2+9n+2)/2. G.f. (1+6x-9x^2+2x^3)/(1-x)^5.

Contribution from Bruno Berselli (berselli.bruno(AT)yahoo.it), Jun 04 2010: (Start)

G.f.: (1+7*x-2*x^2)/(1-x)^4 (simplified).

a(n) = (n+1)*(2*n^2+7*n+2)/2.

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