COMMENTS

The coefficient of x^5 in (1-x-x^2)^(-n) is the coefficient of x^5 in (1+x+2x^2+3x^3+5x^4+8x^5)^n. Using the multinomial theorem one then finds that a(n) = n(n+1)(n+2)(n^2+27n+132)/5!

The inverse binomial transform yields 8,30,43,29,9,1,0,0,... (0 continued) - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), May 23 2008
