%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A252822/b252822.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = (1/720)*n^6 + (7/240)*n^5 + (5/144)*n^4 - (11/48)*n^3 + (527/360)*n^2 - (3/10)*n + 1.

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Dec 06 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: x*(2 - 8*x + 18*x^2 - 17*x^3 + 9*x^4 - 4*x^5 + x^6) / (1 - x)^7.

%F a(n) = 7*a(n-1) - 21*a(n-2) + 35*a(n-3) - 35*a(n-4) + 21*a(n-5) - 7*a(n-6) + a(n-7) for n>7.
