Formula

Empirical: a(n) = n^7 + 7*n^6 + 16*n^5 - 12*n^4 - 5*n^3 + 18*n^2 - 15*n + 4.

Conjectures from Colin Barker, Jan 25 2019: (Start)

G.f.: 2*x*(7 + 395*x + 1684*x^2 + 608*x^3 - 321*x^4 + 143*x^5 + 6*x^6 - 2*x^7) / (1 - x)^8.

a(n) = 8*a(n-1) - 28*a(n-2) + 56*a(n-3) - 70*a(n-4) + 56*a(n-5) - 28*a(n-6) + 8*a(n-7) - a(n-8) for n>8.
