%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A219515/b219515.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = (1/6720)*n^8 - (1/360)*n^7 + (41/1440)*n^6 + (7/18)*n^5 - (41099/2880)*n^4 + (68651/360)*n^3 - (6724661/5040)*n^2 + (58709/12)*n - 7380 for n>6.

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Jul 26 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: x*(4 - 31*x + 123*x^2 - 304*x^3 + 523*x^4 - 660*x^5 + 655*x^6 - 528*x^7 + 357*x^8 - 217*x^9 + 156*x^10 - 128*x^11 + 74*x^12 - 15*x^13 - 3*x^14) / (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>15.
