%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A250893/b250893.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 12*a(n-1) - 60*a(n-2) + 162*a(n-3) - 255*a(n-4) + 234*a(n-5) - 116*a(n-6) + 24*a(n-7) for n>9.

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Nov 23 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: x*(403 - 3511*x + 12668*x^2 - 24246*x^3 + 25568*x^4 - 13314*x^5 + 1284*x^6 + 1746*x^7 - 594*x^8) / ((1 - x)^3*(1 - 2*x)^3*(1 - 3*x)).

%F a(n) = (-8*(179+223*2^n-25*3^(3+n)) + (1104-845*2^n)*n + (32+375*2^n)*n^2) / 32 for n>2.
