Formula

a(n) = (3/2)*n*(n+1)*(9*n^2 + 3*n + 2).

G.f.: 6*x*(7 + 31*x + 16*x^2)/(1-x)^5.

The Hosoya polynomial of the linear phenylene with n hexagons is nt(t^3-t^2-4t-8)/(t-1) + 2t(t+1)(t^(3n)-1)/(t-1)^2.

a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 10*a(n-2) + 10*a(n-3) - 5*a(n-4) + a(n-5). - G. C. Greubel, Dec 08 2016

a := proc (n) options operator, arrow: (3/2)*n*(n+1)*(9*n^2+3*n+2) end proc: seq(a(n), n = 1 .. 35);
