COMMENTS
For given k and n positive integers, let T(k,n) represent the number of n-tuples of positive integers, whose minimum is zero and maximum is k. In this notation, the sequence corresponds to a(n) = T(4,n).

FORMULA
a(n) = 5^n-2*4^n+3^n.
a(n) = 12*a(n-1)-47*a(n-2)+60*a(n-3). G.f.: -2*x^2 / ((3*x-1)*(4*x-1)*(5*x-1)). - Colin Barker, Sep 17 2014
a(n) = 2*A016753(n-2) for n>1. - Colin Barker, Sep 17 2014
EXAMPLE
For n=2 the a(2)=2 solutions are (0,4) and (4,0).

CROSSREFS
T(1,n) gives A000918, T(2,n-1) gives A028243, T(n,3) gives A008588, T(n,4) gives A005914.
