%F a(n) = (1/6)*(2*n^4 - 2*n^2 + 6*n).

%F G.f.: x*(1 + x + 7*x^2 - x^3)/(1-x)^5. - _Colin Barker_, Apr 16 2012

%F a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 10*a(n-2) + 10*a(n-3) - 5*a(n-4) + a(n-5); a(1)=1, a(2)=6, a(3)=27, a(4)=84, a(5)=205. - _Harvey P. Dale_, May 11 2016

%F E.g.f.: (3*x + 6*x^2 + 6*x^3 + x^4)*exp(x)/3. - _G. C. Greubel_, Nov 08 2018

%e There are no 1- or 2-gonal anti-diamonds, so 1 and (2n+2) are the first and second terms since all the sequences begin as such.
