Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (4,-7,8,-7,4,-1).
FORMULA
a(n) = 4*a(n-1)-7*a(n-2)+8*a(n-3)-7*a(n-4)+4*a(n-5)-a(n-6).
G.f.: (1 + x + 2*x^2 + 4*x^3 + x^4)/((1 - x)^4 (1 + x^2)).
a(n) = (n+1)^3 - A213486(n).
MATHEMATICA
t = Compile[{{n, _Integer}}, Module[{s = 0}, (Do[If[w + x + y >= Abs[w - x] + Abs[x - y] + Abs[y - w], s = s + 1], {w, 0, n}, {x, 0, n}, {y, 0, n}]; s)]];
m = Map[t[#] &, Range[0, 60]] (* A213487 *)
