COMMENTS
For n>=3, a(n) is the second Zagreb index of the graph obtained by joining one vertex of a complete graph K[n] with each vertex of a second complete graph K[n].
The second Zagreb index of a simple connected graph g is the sum of the degree products d(i)d(j) over all edges ij of g.

FORMULA
G.f.: x*(1+x)*(1+13*x-2*x^2)/(1-x)^5. - Robert Israel, Nov 07 2016
EXAMPLE
a(4) = 298. Indeed, the corresponding graph has 16 edges. We list the degrees of their endpoints: (3,3), (3,3), (3,3), (3,7), (3,7), (3,7), (4,4), (4,4), (4,4), (4,4), (4,4), (4,4), (4,7), (4,7), (4,7), (4,7). Then, the second Zagreb index is 3*9 + 3*21 + 6*16 + 4*28 = 298.
