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

Formula

Empirical: a(n) = (2/15)*n^5 + (11/6)*n^4 + (35/6)*n^3 + (23/3)*n^2 + (68/15)*n + 1.

Conjectures from Colin Barker, Oct 16 2017: (Start)

G.f.: x*(21 - 5*x + 11*x^2 - 16*x^3 + 6*x^4 - x^5) / (1 - x)^6.

a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - 15*a(n-2) + 20*a(n-3) - 15*a(n-4) + 6*a(n-5) - a(n-6) for n>6.
