Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..10000
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (6,-15,20,-15,6,-1).
FORMULA
a(n-1) = Sum_{1 <= x_1, x_2 <= n} x_1*(det V(x_1,x_2))^2 = Sum_{1 <= i,j <= n} i*(i-j)^2, where V(x_1,x_2) is the Vandermonde matrix of order 2. - Peter Bala, Sep 21 2007
G.f.: x*(3+6*x+x^2)/(1-x)^6. - Colin Barker, Feb 09 2012
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} Sum_{i=0..n} (n-i+1) * C(k+1,k-1). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Sep 21 2017
From Amiram Eldar, May 29 2022: (Start)
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 30 - 3*Pi^2.
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = Pi^2/2 - 24*log(2) + 12. (End)
