Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (28,-322,1960,-6769,13132,-13068,5040).

Formula

a(n) = Stirling2(n, 3) + 2*4! Stirling2(n, 4) + 15/4*5! Stirling2(n, 5) + 5/2*6! Stirling2(n, 6) + 7! Stirling2(n, 7).

From Colin Barker, Jan 30 2017: (Start)

a(n) = 13/4 - 19*2^(n-1) + 44*3^(n-1) - 2^(n-1)*3^(2+n) - 57*4^(n-1) + (39*5^n)/4 + 7^n for n>0.

G.f.: x^3*(1 + 26*x - 235*x^2 + 448*x^3 + 2100*x^4) / ((1 - x)*(1 - 2*x)*(1 - 3*x)*(1 - 4*x)*(1 - 5*x)*(1 - 6*x)*(1 - 7*x)).
