Formula

From Chai Wah Wu, Jan 26 2020: (Start)

a(n) = 21*a(n-1) - 165*a(n-2) + 715*a(n-3) - 1980*a(n-4) + 3762*a(n-5) - 5082*a(n-6) + 4950*a(n-7) - 3465*a(n-8) + 1705*a(n-9) - 561*a(n-10) + 111*a(n-11) - 10*a(n-12) for n > 11.

G.f.: (9*x^11 + 10140*x^10 + 477332*x^9 + 4504245*x^8 + 12648018*x^7 + 11793648*x^6 + 3241104*x^5 + 23538*x^4 - 37875*x^3 - 948*x^2 - 12*x + 1)/((x - 1)^11*(10*x - 1)). (End)
