Alois P. Heinz, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000

FORMULA

G.f.: -(6*x^9 -14*x^8 -155*x^7 +474*x^6 +1267*x^5 -7976*x^4 +13539*x^3 +17290*x^2 +2431*x +18)*x^3 / (x-1)^9.

a(n) = (4*n^8 -16*n^7 -60*n^6 +308*n^5 +171*n^4 -1942*n^3 +872*n^2 +3963*n -3366)/6 for n>=4, a(3) = 18, a(n) = 0 for n<=2.

MAPLE

a:= n-> `if`(n<4, [0$3, 18][n+1], ((((((((4*n-16)*n-60)

*n+308)*n+171)*n-1942)*n+872)*n+3963)*n-3366)/6):

seq(a(n), n=0..40);
