• R. H. Hardin, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210

Formula

Empirical: a(n) = (61/360)*n^6 + (93/40)*n^5 + (779/72)*n^4 + (521/24)*n^3 + (1801/90)*n^2 + (239/30)*n + 1.

Conjectures from Colin Barker, Oct 14 2017: (Start)

G.f.: x*(64 + 81*x - 3*x^2 - 36*x^3 + 22*x^4 - 7*x^5 + x^6) / (1 - x)^7.

a(n) = 7*a(n-1) - 21*a(n-2) + 35*a(n-3) - 35*a(n-4) + 21*a(n-5) - 7*a(n-6) + a(n-7) for n>7.
