FORMULA
|
a(n) = Sum_(i=1..n) C(i+2, 3)^2.
a(n) = ( C(n+3, 4)/35 )*( 35 +84*C(n-1, 1) +70*C(n-1, 2) +20*C(n-1, 3) ).
a(n) = n*(n+1)*(n+2)*(n+3)*(2*n+3)(5*n^2 +15*n +1)/2520. - Emeric Deutsch, Aug 02 2005
O.g.f: x*(1+x)*(1 +8*x +x^2)/(1-x)^8. - R. J. Mathar, Aug 19 2008

EXAMPLE

a(8) = Sum_{i=1..8} C(i+2,3)^2 = (20*(8^7) + 210*(8^6) + 854*(8^5) + 1680*(8^4) + 1610*(8^3) + 630*(8^2) + 36*8)/7! = 26334.
