COMMENTS
If X_1, X_2, ..., X_n are 2-blocks of a (2n+3)-set X then, for n >= 1, a(n+1) is the number of (n+3)-subsets of X intersecting each X_i, (i=1,2,...,n). - Milan Janjic, Nov 18 2007

FORMULA
G.f.: x*(1-x)^3 /(1-2*x)^4.
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor((n+3)/2)} C(n+3, 2k)*C(k+1, 3). - Paul Barry, May 15 2003
a(n+1) = 2^n*n^3/48 + 5*2^n*n^2/16 + 7*2^n*n/6 + 2^n, n>=1. - Milan Janjic, Nov 18 2007
Binomial transform of the tetrahedral numbers A000292 when omitting the initial 0 in both sequences. - Carl Najafi, Sep 08 2011
