Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (12,-66,220,-495,792,-924,792,-495,220,-66,12,-1).
FORMULA
G.f.: 15*(8+3x)*x^7/(1-x)^12.
a(n) = C(n+1, 8)*C(n+3, 3). - Zerinvary Lajos, May 10 2005; corrected by R. J. Mathar, Mar 16 2016
From Amiram Eldar, Feb 01 2022: (Start)
Sum_{n>=7} 1/a(n) = 10448407/264600 - 4*Pi^2.
Sum_{n>=7} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 2*Pi^2 + 17408*log(2)/105 - 35628037/264600. (End)
