Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..10000
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (4,-6,4,-1).
FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k = 1..n} A(-k, k-n-1) where A(i, j) = i^2 + i*j + j^2 + i + j + 1.
G.f.: x * (2 + 2*x + x^2) / (1 - x)^4.
a(n) = -A203552(-n) for all n in Z.
a(n)-a(n-1) = A192136(n). - Bruno Berselli, Jan 03 2012
E.g.f.: x*(5*x^2 + 18*x + 12)*exp(x)/6. - G. C. Greubel, Aug 12 2018
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 2*x + 10*x^2 + 29*x^3 + 64*x^4 + 120*x^5 + 202*x^6 + 315*x^7 + 464*x^8 + ...
