Formula

Empirical: a(n) = (1/8064)*n^8 + (1/288)*n^7 + (103/2880)*n^6 + (17/90)*n^5 + (751/1152)*n^4 + (571/288)*n^3 + (7769/3360)*n^2 + (153/40)*n + 3.

Conjectures from Colin Barker, Sep 15 2018: (Start)

G.f.: x*(12 - 53*x + 159*x^2 - 272*x^3 + 302*x^4 - 222*x^5 + 103*x^6 - 27*x^7 + 3*x^8) / (1 - x)^9.

a(n) = 9*a(n-1) - 36*a(n-2) + 84*a(n-3) - 126*a(n-4) + 126*a(n-5) - 84*a(n-6) + 36*a(n-7) - 9*a(n-8) + a(n-9) for n>9.
