FORMULA
a(n) = n*((145*n^3)-(280*n^2)+(179*n)-38)/6.
a(n) = C(n+3,4) + 115 C(n+2,4) + 357 C(n+1,4) + 107 C(n,4).
From R. J. Mathar, Jun 21 2010: (Start)
a(n) = +5*a(n-1) -10*a(n-2) +10*a(n-3) -5*a(n-4) +a(n-5).
G.f.: x*(1+115*x+357*x^2+107*x^3)/(1-x)^5. (End)
E.g.f.: exp(x)*x*(6 + 354*x + 590*x^2 + 145*x^3)/6. - Stefano Spezia, Oct 26 2025
EXAMPLE
a(3) = 3*((145*3^3)-(280*3^2)+(179*3)-38)/6 = 3*(3915-2520+537-38)/6 = 0.5*1894 = 947.
