Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (8, -28, 56, -70, 56, -28, 8, -1).

Formula

a(n) = (n-1)*(n-2)*n^2*(n+2)*(n^2+2*n-11)/6.

a(n) = 8*a(n-1)-28*a(n-2)+56*a(n-3)-70*a(n-4)+56*a(n-5)-28*a(n-6)+8*a(n-7)+a(n-8).

G.f.: (12*x^3*(5+64*x+8*x^2-8*x^3+x^4))/(-1+x)^8.
