%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A227121/b227121.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = (1/24)*n^4 - (1/12)*n^3 + (11/24)*n^2 + (31/12)*n.

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Sep 07 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: x*(3 - 8*x + 8*x^2 - 2*x^3) / (1 - x)^5.

%F a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 10*a(n-2) + 10*a(n-3) - 5*a(n-4) + a(n-5) for n>5.
