Bruno Berselli, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000
X. Acloque, Polynexus Numbers and other mathematical wonders [dead link, domain owned by a domain grabber].
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (8,-28,56,-70,56,-28,8,-1).
FORMULA
a(n) = ((n^8-(n-1)^8)-(n^4-(n-1)^4))/240 = ((n^8-(n-1)^8)-(n^4-(n-1)^4))/(2^8-2^4).
G.f.: x^2*(1+x)*(1+17*x+48*x^2+17*x^3+x^4)/(1-x)^8. - Bruno Berselli, Feb 10 2012
