Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (8,-28,56,-70,56,-28,8,-1).
FORMULA
From Alois P. Heinz, Jul 04 2015: (Start)
G.f.: (24*x^3+58*x^2+22*x+1)*x/(x-1)^8.
a(n) = n^3*(n+3)*(n+2)*(n+1)^2/48.
a(n) = n*Stirling2(n+3,n). (End)
From Amiram Eldar, Nov 02 2025: (Start)
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 1841/27 - 70*Pi^2/9 + 8*zeta(3).
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = Pi^2/9 + 640*log(2)/9 + 6*zeta(3) - 1529/27. (End)
