FORMULA
a(n) ~ (-13*exp(1)/6 + 14*exp(2) - 15*exp(3) + 4*exp(4)) * n^(n-1). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 19 2017
MAPLE
S:= (n, k)-> add(binomial(n, i)*k*(k+i)^(i-1)*(n-k-i)^(n-i), i=0..n-k):
a:= n-> S(n, 3)-S(n, 4):
seq(a(n), n=4..23);
MATHEMATICA
S[n_, k_] := Sum[Binomial[n, i]*k*(k+i)^(i-1)*(n-k-i)^(n-i), {i, 0, n-k}];
a[n_] := S[n, 3] - S[n, 4];
