FORMULA
G.f.: x*(1+9*x+3*x^2-x^3)/(1-x)^5. - Vincenzo Librandi, Sep 05 2015
a(n) = 5*a(n-1) -10*a(n-2) +10*a(n-3) -5*a(n-4) +a(n-5). - Vincenzo Librandi, Sep 05 2015
a(n) = Sum_{k=n..n+n^2-1} k (the sum of the first n^2 integers starting with n). - Matthew Niemiro, Jun 26 2020
E.g.f.: (x/2)*(2 +12*x +8*x^2 +x^3)*exp(x). - G. C. Greubel, Sep 24 2021
