FORMULA
From Colin Barker, Apr 22 2020: (Start)
G.f.: (1 + 14*x + 34*x^2 + 19*x^3 + 2*x^4) / (1 - x)^9.
a(n) = 9*a(n-1) - 36*a(n-2) + 84*a(n-3) - 126*a(n-4) + 126*a(n-5) - 84*a(n-6) + 36*a(n-7) - 9*a(n-8) + a(n-9) for n>8.
(End)
MAPLE
a:=n->(1/2880)*(n+1)*(n+2)^2*(n+3)^2*(n+4)*(5*n^2+21*n+20): seq(a(n), n=0..30);
