FORMULA
From R. J. Mathar, Jul 16 2009: (Start)
a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 6*a(n-2) + 4*a(n-3) - a(n-4) for n > 3.
G.f.: (5 + 15*x - 5*x^2 + x^3)/(x-1)^4. (End)
a(n) = 5*Pochhammer(7/2,n)/Pochhammer(1/2,n). Hence e.g.f. is 5* 1F1(7/2;1/2;x), with 1F1 being the confluent hypergemetric function (also known as Kummer's). - Stanislav Sykora, May 26 2016
E.g.f.: (8*x^3 + 60*x^2 + 90*x + 15)*exp(x)/3. - Robert Israel, May 27 2016
From Amiram Eldar, Jan 09 2021: (Start)
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 1/4.
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = 3*Pi/8 - 1 = A093828 - 1. (End)
