Formula

G.f.: x^4*(1+14*x+176*x^2-49*x^3-31*x^4+9*x^5) / (1-x)^6. - Colin Barker, Jun 04 2014

a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - 15*a(n-2) + 20*a(n-3) - 15*a(n-4) + 6*a(n-5) - a(n-6). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Aug 28 2015

E.g.f.: (x^5 -(5/6)*x^4 - (67/6)*x^3 + 75*x^2 - 219*x + 265)*exp(x) + (3/2)*x^3 + (23/2)*x^2 - 46*x - 265. - G. C. Greubel, Aug 29 2015
