Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (6,-15,20,-15,6,-1).

Formula

a(n) = S(n,6) = 7*n*(11*n^4 + 35*n^2 + 14)/10, with S(n,m) = Sum_{k=0..m} binomial(m,k)^2 * binomial(n-k+m-1, m-1), for n > 0, and a(0) = 1.

G.f.: (1+36*x+225*x^2+400*x^3+225*x^4+36*x^5+x^6)/(1-x)^6 = 1 + 42*x*(1+5*x+10*x^2+5*x^3+x^4)/(1-x)^6. - Colin Barker, Sep 26 2012

E.g.f.: 1 + (1/10)*x*(420 + 1890*x + 2170*x^2 + 770*x^3 + 77*x^4)*exp(x). - G. C. Greubel, May 26 2023
