R. H. Hardin, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (8,-28,56,-70,56,-28,8,-1).
FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = (1/14)*n^7 - (1/2)*n^6 + (3/2)*n^5 - (5/2)*n^4 + (5/2)*n^3 - (3/2)*n^2 + (3/7)*n.
From Colin Barker, Nov 11 2017: (Start)
G.f.: 3*x^3*(3 + 28*x + 58*x^2 + 28*x^3 + 3*x^4) / (1 - x)^8.
a(n) = 8*a(n-1) - 28*a(n-2) + 56*a(n-3) - 70*a(n-4) + 56*a(n-5) - 28*a(n-6) + 8*a(n-7) - a(n-8) for n>8.
