For n>=1, a(n) is equal to the number of functions f:{1,2,3,4}->{1,2,...,n} such that for a fixed x in {1,2,3,4} and a fixed y in {1,2,...,n} we have f(x)<>y. - Aleksandar M. Janjic and Milan Janjic, Mar 13 2007
Let K_n denote the complete graph on n (n>1) vertices. The sequence corresponds to the Wiener index of K_n X K_n (Cartesian product of K_n with itself). - K.V.Iyer, Mar 12 2009
Lewis proved that the order of a solvable nonabelian finite group |G| is less than or equal to e^4 - e^3, where when d is an irreducible character degree of G, then there is a positive integer e such that |G| = d(d+e). - Jonathan Vos Post, Jun 21 2012
