R. H. Hardin, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210

Formula

Empirical: a(n) = n^8 + (16/7)*n^7 + (16/3)*n^6 + 8*n^5 + (59/6)*n^4 + 7*n^3 + (4/3)*n^2 + (3/14)*n.

Conjectures from Colin Barker, Nov 10 2018: (Start)

G.f.: 5*x*(7 + 210*x + 1473*x^2 + 3340*x^3 + 2457*x^4 + 546*x^5 + 31*x^6) / (1 - x)^9.

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>9.
