FORMULA

Explicit formula (Panos Louridas, 2007): a(n) = (2*n^6 - 20*n^5 + 31*n^4 + 314*n^3 - 1452*n^2 + 2040*n - 672)/12 if n is even (n >= 4) and a(n) = (2*n^6 - 20*n^5 + 31*n^4 + 314*n^3 - 1452*n^2 + 2034*n - 669)/12 if n is odd (n >= 5).
G.f.: 4*x^5*(12+46*x+60*x^2+32*x^3-23*x^4-13*x^5+7*x^6-x^7)/((1+x)^2*(1-x)^7). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 24 2010
a(n) = (1/24)*(4*n^6 - 40*n^5 + 62*n^4 + 628*n^3 - 2904*n^2 + 4074*n - 1341 + 3*(-1)^n*(2*n-1)) - 20*[n=1] - 8*[n=2] + 4*[n=3]. - G. C. Greubel, Apr 29 2022
