Formula

Empirical: a(n) = (2/45)*n^6 + (8/15)*n^5 + (115/36)*n^4 + 8*n^3 + (1667/180)*n^2 + (149/30)*n + 1.

Conjectures from Colin Barker, Sep 11 2018: (Start)

G.f.: x*(27 - 6*x + 22*x^2 - 27*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.
