Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (8,-28,56,-70,56,-28,8,-1).
FORMULA
From Chai Wah Wu, Jun 12 2016: (Start)
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) for n > 7.
G.f.: (1 + 15*x + 38*x^2 + 21*x^3 + 2*x^4)/(1 - x)^8. (End)
E.g.f.: (1/6!)*(720 + 15840*x + 53640*x^2 + 56520*x^3 + 24030*x^4 + 4548*x^5 + 377*x^6 + 11*x^7)*exp(x). - G. C. Greubel, Oct 19 2023
MAPLE
a:=(n+1)*(n+2)^2*(n+3)*(11*n^3+58*n^2+101*n+60)/720: seq(a(n), n=0..30);
