COMMENTS

This sequence is in the same spirit as A000127 where a formula is given for the maximal number of regions obtained by a straight line drawing of the complete graph K_n with the vertices located on the perimeter of a circle. This yields the often quoted sequence 1,2,4,8,16,31,...

FORMULA

a(n) = n^2 - 2n + C(n,2)^2 + 1

a(n) = (n-1)^2*(n^2+4)/4; [Vincenzo Librandi, Sep 09 2011]

G.f.: x^2*(2+3*x+x^3)/(1-x)^5. [Colin Barker, Feb 15 2012]

MAPLE

n^2-2*n+(numbcomb(n, 2))^2+1

a:=n->sum((n+j^3), j=1..n): seq(a(n), n=0..27); - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Jul 27 2006

PROG

(MAGMA)[(n-1)^2*(n^2+4)/4: n in [1..40]]; // Vincenzo Librandi, Sep 09 2011
