FORMULA
a(n) = 15*a(n-1) - 71*a(n-2) + 105*a(n-3) - 48.
a(n) = A074507(n) + A000420(n). - Michel Marcus, Nov 07 2013
G.f.: 1 / (1 - x) + 1 / (1 - 3*x) + 1 / (1 - 5*x) + 1 / (1 - 7*x), E.g.f.: exp(x) + exp(3*x) + exp(5*x) + exp(7*x). - Michael Somos, Jun 29 2017
EXAMPLE
a(3)=84 because 1^2+3^2+5^2+7^2=84.
