FORMULA
|
Given the 4th-order Stirling number of the first kind matrix [1 0 0 0 / -1 1 0 0 / 2 -3 1 0 / -6 11 -6 1] = M, M^n * [1 0 0 0] = [1 -n A005449(n) -a(n)].
Empirical g.f.: x*(6+11*x+x^2)/(1-x)^4. - Colin Barker, Jan 14 2012

EXAMPLE
|
a(5) = 440 = (2n+1)*A005449(n) = 11 * 40.
a(6) = 741 since M^7 * [1 0 0 0] = [1 -6 57 -741].
