%N a(n) is its own 4th difference.

%C a(n) is the number of distinct matrix products in (A+B+C+D+E)^n where A,B,C and D all commute with each other, but not with E. - _Paul D. Hanna_ and _Max Alekseyev_, Feb 01 2006

%C Row sums of Riordan array (1,1/(1-x)^4). - _Paul Barry_, Feb 02 2006

%C Quadrisection of A003269: a(n)=A003269(4n-1). - _Paul Barry_, Feb 02 2006

%C From _Gary W. Adamson_, Apr 23 2009: (Start)

%C Equals the INVERT transform of the tetrahedral series.

%C a(4) = 69 = (1, 4, 10) dot (19, 5, 1) + 20; = (19 + 20 + 10) + 20. (End)
