COMMENTS
Terms up to 112 are the atomic numbers of the elements of group 12 in the periodic table. The group is also known as the volatile metals since almost all elements with that property fall in to group 12.
FORMULA
From Colin Barker, Oct 25 2016: (Start)
G.f.: 2*x^3*(15 - 6*x - 23*x^2 + 12*x^3 + 10*x^4 - 6*x^5)/((1 - x)^4*(1 + x)^2).
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + a(n-2) - 4*a(n-3) + a(n-4) + 2*a(n-5) - a(n-6) for n>8.
a(n) = (n^3 + 9*n^2 + 26*n - 24)/6 for n even.
a(n) = (n^3 + 9*n^2 + 29*n - 15)/6 for n odd. (End)
