%N a(n) = n*(2*n+5)*(n-1)/6.
%C Related to variance of number of inversions of a random permutation of n letters.
%C Zero followed by partial sums of A005563. - _Klaus Brockhaus_, Oct 17 2008
%C a(n)/12 is the variance of the number of inversions of a random permutation of n letters. See evidence in Mathematica code below. - _Geoffrey Critzer_, May 15 2010
%C The sequence is related to A033487 by A033487(n-1) = n*a(n) - Sum_{i=0..n-1} a(i) = n*(n+1)*(n+2)*(n+3)/4. - _Bruno Berselli_, Apr 04 2012
%C Deleting the two 0's leaves row 2 of the convolution array A213750. - _Clark Kimberling_, Jun 20 2012
%C For n>=4, a(n-2) is the number of permutations of 1,2...,n with the distribution of up (1) - down (0) elements 0...0110 (the first n-4 zeros), or, the same, a(n-2) is up-down coefficient {n,6} (see comment in A060351). - _Vladimir Shevelev_, Feb 15 2014
%C Minimum sum of the bottom row of a triangular array A filled with the integers [0..binomial(n, 2) - 1] that obeys the rule A[i, j] + 1 <= A[i+1, j] and A[i, j] + 1 <= A[i, j-1]. - _C.S. Elder_, Oct 13 2023
