FORMULA
a(1)=0, a(2)=150, a(3)=3000, a(4)=37500, a(n)=20*a(n-1)-150*a(n-2)+ 500*a(n-3)- 625*a(n-4). - Harvey P. Dale, Jul 22 2012
G.f.: 150*x^2/(1 - 5*x)^4. - Vincenzo Librandi, Feb 12 2013
a(n) = 150*A081143(n+1). - Bruno Berselli, Feb 12 2013
From Amiram Eldar, Oct 02 2022: (Start)
a(n) = A007531(n+1)*A000351(n).
Sum_{n>=2} 1/a(n) = (8/5)*log(5/4) - 7/20.
Sum_{n>=2} (-1)^n/a(n) = (18/5)*log(6/5) - 13/20. (End)
