Number of monotone n-weightings of a certain connected bipartite digraph. A monotone n-(vertex) weighting of a digraph D=(V,E) is a function w: V -> {0,1,...,n-1} such that w(v1) <= w(v2) for every arc (v1,v2) from E.

Can be constructed by taking the product of the three members of a Pythagorean triples and dividing by 60. Formula: n*(n^2-1)*(n^2+1)/240 where n runs through the odd numbers >= 3. - Pierre Gayet, Apr 04 2009
Number of composable morphisms in a height-n tower of retractions. A retraction between objects X and Y is a pair of maps s:X->Y and r:Y->X such that r(s(x))=x for all x in X. Given objects X_0,X_1,X_2,...,X_n, we can ask for retractions s_i:X_i->X_{i+1},r_i:X_{i+1}->X_i, for each 0 <= i < n. The total number of morphisms in that category is 0^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + ... + n^2 (cf. A000330). The total number of composable pairs of morphisms in that category is the sequence given here. - David Spivak, Feb 26 2014

FORMULA
a(n) = n + 11*binomial(n, 2) + 34*binomial(n, 3) + 40*binomial(n, 4) + 16*binomial(n, 5) = 1/30*n*(n+1)*(2*n+1)*(2*n^2 + 2*n + 1).
