COMMENTS

Binomial transform of A053154 (with leading zero).

LINKS

Table of n, a(n) for n=0..21.

FORMULA

a(n)=(5^n-4^n+3^n-2^n)/2 G.f. x(1-7x+13x^2)/((1-2x)(1-3x)(1-4x)(1-5x)) E.g.f. exp(5x)-exp(4x)+exp(3x)-exp(2x)

a(0)=0, a(1)=1, a(2)=7, a(3)=40, a(n)=14*a(n-1)-71*a(n-2)+154*a(n-3)- 120*a(n-4). - Harvey P. Dale, Apr 04 2013
