COMMENTS

The second derivative at x=-1 is just (-1)^n * a(n)

The difference between two consecutive terms, n+1 and n, generates the sequence b(n)=a(n+1)-a(n) which is A002492.

FORMULA

a(n) = (n-1)*n*n*(n+1)/3;

a(n) = 2*( A000914(n-1) + C(n+1,4) ) - David J. Scambler (dscambler(AT)bmm.com), Nov 27 2006

a(n) = 5*a(n-1)-10*a(n-2)+10*a(n-3)-5*a(n-4)+a(n-5). G.f.: 4*x^2*(1+x)/(1-x)^5. [Colin Barker, Jan 26 2012]

EXAMPLE

a(4)=80 because:

C_4(x) = 1 - 8x^2 + 8x^4

C'_4(x) = -16x+32x^3

C''_4(x) = -16+96x^2

C''_4(1) = -16+96 = 80
