If Y is a 5-subset of an n-set X then, for n >= 11, a(n-11) is the number of 7-subsets of X having at most one element in common with Y. > - Milan Janjic, Dec 08 2007

FORMULA
G.f.: (5-4*x)/(1-x)^8.
a(n) = (n+35)*binomial(n+6, 6)/7 = 5*b(n)-4*b(n-1), with b(n) = A000580(n+7) = binomial(n+7, 7).
a(n) = 8*a(n-1)-28*a(n-2)+56*a(n-3)-70*a(n-4)+56*a(n-5)- 28*a(n-6)+ 8*a(n-7)-a(n-8), with a(0)=5, a(1)=36, a(2)=148, a(3)=456, a(4)=1170, a(5)=2640, a(6)=5412, a(7)=10296. - Harvey P. Dale, Aug 16 2014
