COMMENTS

a(n)+a(n-1)=2*A153057(n-1) (n>1); a(n)+A000217(n)=A153057(n) (n>0). [From Bruno Berselli (berselli.bruno(AT)yahoo.it), Jun 21 2010]

FORMULA

a(n)=n(n-1)+a(n-1), with a(1)=3 .

Contribution from Bruno Berselli (berselli.bruno(AT)yahoo.it), Jun 21 2010: (Start)

G.f.: x*(3-9*x+11*x^2-3*x^3)/(1-x)^4.

a(n)-4*a(n-1)+6*a(n-2)-4*a(n-3)+a(n-4) = 0 with n>4.

a(n) = 3+A007290(n+1) = (n^3-n+9)/3. (End)
