FORMULA
Binomial transform of [1, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, ...].
a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 9*a(n-2) + 7*a(n-3) - 2*a(n-4); a(1)=1, a(2)=4, a(3)=10, a(4)=21. - Harvey P. Dale, Jun 19 2011
G.f.: -x*(x^2+x-1)/((x-1)^3*(2*x-1)). - Harvey P. Dale, Jun 19 2011
EXAMPLE
a(4) = 21 = sum of row 4 terms of triangle A132924: (4 + 4 + 5 + 8).
a(4) = 21 = (1, 3, 3, 1) dot (1, 3, 3, 2) = (1 + 9 + 9 + 2).
