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

Formula

Empirical: a(n) = (9/7)*n^7 + (37/3)*n^6 + (65/2)*n^5 + 46*n^4 + (217/6)*n^3 + (97/6)*n^2 + (233/42)*n + 1.

Conjectures from Colin Barker, Nov 13 2018: (Start)

G.f.: x*(151 + 1888*x + 4026*x^2 + 939*x^3 - 417*x^4 - 114*x^5 + 8*x^6 - x^7) / (1 - x)^8.

a(n) = 8*a(n-1) - 28*a(n-2) + 56*a(n-3) - 70*a(n-4) + 56*a(n-5) - 28*a(n-6) + 8*a(n-7) - a(n-8) for n>8.
