%C Column 2 of A211916.

%F Empirical: a(n) = (1/128)*n^8 + (1/32)*n^7 - (53/192)*n^6 - (5/16)*n^5 + (513/128)*n^4 - (577/96)*n^3 - (215/96)*n^2 + (235/24)*n - 4 for n>1.

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Jul 20 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: x^2*(1 + x + 160*x^2 + 296*x^3 - 93*x^4 - 104*x^5 + 66*x^6 - 13*x^7 + x^8) / (1 - x)^9.

%F a(n) = 9*a(n-1) - 36*a(n-2) + 84*a(n-3) - 126*a(n-4) + 126*a(n-5) - 84*a(n-6) + 36*a(n-7) - 9*a(n-8) + a(n-9) for n>10.
