Alois P. Heinz, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..455

Formula

a(n) = A262163(n,4).

Maple

b:= proc(u, o, c) option remember; `if`(c<0 or c>4, 0, `if`(u+o=0,
       x^c, (p-> add(coeff(p, x, i)*x^max(i, c), i=0..4))(add(
       b(u-j, o-1+j, c-1), j=1..u)+add(b(u+j-1, o-j, c+1), j=1..o))))
    end:
a:= n-> (p-> add(coeff(p, x, i), i=0..min(n, 4)))(b(0, n, 0)):
seq(a(n), n=0..25);

Mathematica

b[u_, o_, c_] := b[u, o, c] = If[c < 0 || c > 4, 0, If[u + o == 0, x^c, Function[p, Sum[Coefficient[p, x, i]*x^Max[i, c], {i, 0, 4}]][Sum[b[u - j, o - 1 + j, c - 1], {j, u}] + Sum[b[u + j - 1, o - j, c + 1], {j, o}]]]];
a[n_] := Function[p, Sum[Coefficient[p, x, i], {i, 0, Min[n, 4]}]][b[0, n, 0]];
