Partial sums of A054333.
If a 2-set Y and an (n-3)-set Z are disjoint subsets of an n-set X then a(n-11) is the number of 11-subsets of X intersecting both Y and Z. - Milan Janjic, Sep 08 2007
10-dimensional square numbers, ninth partial sums of binomial transform of [1,2,0,0,0,...]. a(n)=sum{i=0,n,C(n+9,i+9)*b(i)}, where b(i)=[1,2,0,0,0,...]. [From Borislav St. Borisov (b.st.borisov(AT)abv.bg), Mar 05 2009]
2*a(n) is number of ways to place 9 queens on an (n+9) X (n+9) chessboard so that they diagonally attack each other exactly 36 times. The maximal possible attack number, p=binomial(k,2)=36 for k=9 queens, is achievable only when all queens are on the same diagonal. In graph-theory representation they thus form the corresponding complete graph. - Antal Pinter, Dec 27 2015

FORMULA
a(n) = (2*n+10)*binomial(n+9, 9)/10 = ((-1)^n)*A053120(2*n+10, 10)/2^9.
G.f.: (1+x)/(1-x)^11.

From Amiram Eldar, Jan 26 2022: (Start)
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 525*Pi^2 - 1160419/224.
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = 525*Pi^2/2 - 82875/32. (End)
