FORMULA
a(n) = (1/6)*(15*n^3 - 9*n^2). - James A. Record (james.record(AT)gmail.com), Nov 07 2004
G.f.: x*(1+10*x+4*x^2)/(1-x)^4. - Colin Barker, Jun 08 2012
a(n) = Sum_{i=0..n-1} n*(5*i+1) for n>0. - Bruno Berselli, Sep 08 2015
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 1.1080093773051638036... = (sqrt(5*(5 - 2*sqrt(5)))*Pi - Pi^2 - 5*sqrt(5)*arccoth(sqrt(5)) + (25*log(5))/2)/9. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 04 2016
From Elmo R. Oliveira, Aug 06 2025: (Start)
E.g.f.: exp(x)*x*(2 + 12*x + 5*x^2)/2.
a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 6*a(n-2) + 4*a(n-3) - a(n-4).
a(n) = A006592(n)/4. (End)
