%C Column 4 of A224262.

%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A224258/b224258.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = (41/4032)*n^8 + (9/112)*n^7 + (349/480)*n^6 + (69/20)*n^5 + (1325/192)*n^4 + (1571/48)*n^3 + (87503/5040)*n^2 - (21949/420)*n + 43 for n>2.

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Aug 29 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: x*(46 + 134*x - 180*x^2 + 467*x^3 + 29*x^4 - 416*x^5 + 534*x^6 - 255*x^7 + 61*x^8 - 12*x^9 + 2*x^10) / (1 - x)^9.

%F a(n) = 9*a(n-1) - 36*a(n-2) + 84*a(n-3) - 126*a(n-4) + 126*a(n-5) - 84*a(n-6) + 36*a(n-7) - 9*a(n-8) + a(n-9) for n>11.
