FORMULA
a(n) = (1/6)*(4*n^4-12*n^3+20*n^2-6*n).
a(1)=1, a(2)=6, a(3)=27, a(4)=92, a(5)=245, a(n)=5*a(n-1)-10*a(n-2)+ 10*a(n-3)-5*a(n-4)+a(n-5). - Harvey P. Dale, Jul 05 2011
G.f.: x*(1+x)*(1+7*x^2)/(1-x)^5. - Colin Barker, Jan 19 2012
EXAMPLE
There are no 1- or 2-gonal anti-diamonds, so 1 and (2n+2) are used as the first and second terms since all the sequences begin as such.
