a(n) + A213480(n) = (n+1)^3.
For a guide to related sequences, see A212959.
FORMULA
a(n) = a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) - 2*a(n-3) - a(n-4) + a(n-5).
G.f.: (1 + 3*x + 5*x^2 + x^3 - x^4)/((1 - x)^3 * (1 + x)^2).
From Colin Barker, Jan 27 2016: (Start)
a(n) = (18*n^2+2*(-1)^n*n+42*n+5*(-1)^n+11)/16.
a(n) = (9*n^2+22*n+8)/8 for n even.
a(n) = (9*n^2+20*n+3)/8 for n odd. (End)
