FORMULA
a(n) = (n-2)*(n^5 + 2*n^4 - 11*n^3 - 10*n^2 + 42*n - 12)/6, n>=2.
G.f.: 2*x^3*(x^5-9*x^4+22*x^3-2*x^2-61*x-11)/(x-1)^7. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 25 2010
a(n) = 7*a(n-1)-21*a(n-2)+35*a(n-3)-35*a(n-4)+21*a(n-5)-7*a(n-6)+a(n-7). - Vincenzo Librandi, Apr 30 2013
a(n) = A232833(n,3). - R. J. Mathar, Apr 11 2024
