Table of n, a(n) for n=3..22.

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{s=1..n} binomial(n,s)*binomial(s+n-5,n-4) = n*hypergeom([-n + 1, n-3], [2], -1) for n >= 4 and a(1) = 1. - Petros Hadjicostas, Feb 14 2021

D-finite with recurrence 3*(n-1)*(n-4)*a(n) +(-23*n^2+139*n-180)*a(n-1) +3*(11*n^2-91*n+170)*a(n-2) -5*(n-2)*(n-7)*a(n-3)=0 for n-3>=4. - R. J. Mathar, Jul 31 2025
