Kelvin Voskuijl, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (18,-153,816,-3060,8568,-18564,31824,-43758,48620,-43758,31824,-18564,8568,-3060,816,-153,18,-1).
FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{i=n*(n-1)/2+1..n*(n-1)/2+n)} i^8.
a(n) = (45*n^17 + 780*n^15 + 3990*n^13 + 6900*n^11 + 1205*n^9 - 3240*n^7 + 1584*n^5 + 640*n^3 - 384*n)/11520. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Sep 17 2009

EXAMPLE
a(1) = 1^8 = 1; a(2) = 2^8 + 3^8 = 6817; a(3) = 4^8 + 5^8 + 6^8 = 2135777; a(4) = 7^8 + 8^8 + 9^8 + 10^8 = 165588738.
