FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = (1/24)*n^4 + (1/12)*n^3 - (37/24)*n^2 + (161/12)*n - 23 for n>3.
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Jul 26 2018: (Start)
G.f.: x*(3 - 11*x + 21*x^2 - 23*x^3 + 17*x^4 - 9*x^5 + 5*x^6 - 2*x^7) / (1 - x)^5.
a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 10*a(n-2) + 10*a(n-3) - 5*a(n-4) + a(n-5) for n>8.
(End)
