Comments

Number of n permutations (n>=4) of 5 objects u, v, z, x, y with repetition allowed, containing n-4 u's. Example: if n=4 then n-4 = zero (0) u, a(1)=256, if n=5 then n-4 = one (1) u, a(2)=1280, if n=6 then n-4 = two (2) u, a(3)=3840, etc.

Formula

G.f.: 256/(1-x)^5.

a(n) = C(n+3,4)*4^4, n>=1.

From Amiram Eldar, Sep 01 2022: (Start)

Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 1/192.

Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = log(2)/8 - 1/12. (End)
