Formula

From Alois P. Heinz, Apr 27 2012 (Start)

G.f.: -(2507986*x^14 +349887529*x^13 +12282125725*x^12 +158263444274*x^11 +896159384816*x^10 +2455337616143*x^9 +3417678462327*x^8 +2453922059100*x^7 +895941969162*x^6 +158666067383*x^5 +12424532171*x^4 +363949394*x^3 +2934100*x^2 +3889*x+1)*x^2 / (x-1)^17.

a(n) = n*(n-1)*(n^14 -23*n^13 +253*n^12 -1762*n^11 +8675*n^10 -31939*n^9 +90723*n^8 -202160*n^7 +355622*n^6 -492434*n^5 +529770*n^4 -430857*n^3 +251492*n^2 -94782*n +17493)/2.
