FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{i=0..n} (-2)^(n-i)*binomial(n,i)*Sum_{j=0..i} binomial(i,j)^4.
From Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 20 2023: (Start)
Recurrence: n^3*a(n) = 2*(n-1)*n*(2*n - 1)*a(n-1) + 112*(n-1)^3*a(n-2) + 184*(n-2)*(n-1)*(2*n - 3)*a(n-3) + 336*(n-3)*(n-2)*(n-1)*a(n-4).
a(n) ~ 2^(n-4) * 7^(n + 3/2) / (Pi^(3/2) * n^(3/2)). (End)
