Comments

If Y is a 6-subset of an n-set X then, for n>=8, a(n-8) is the number of 3-subsets of X having at most one element in common with Y. - Milan Janjic, Dec 16 2007

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (4,-6,4,-1).

Formula

a(n) = A096956(n+3, 3) = 6*b(n) - 5*b(n-1) = (n+18)*binomial(n+2, 2)/3, with b(n):=A000292(n)=binomial(n+3, 3).

G.f.: (6-5*x)/(1-x)^4.

a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 6*a(n-2) + 4*a(n-3) - a(n-4) for n>3. - Vincenzo Librandi, Apr 19 2017
