Formula
Empirical: a(n) = (1/315)*n^8 + (134/315)*n^7 + (21/5)*n^6 + (571/36)*n^5 + (1841/60)*n^4 + (6047/180)*n^3 + (26603/1260)*n^2 + (299/42)*n + 1.
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Oct 16 2017: (Start)
G.f.: x*(114 + 665*x + 357*x^2 - 953*x^3 - 37*x^4 - 47*x^5 + 37*x^6 - 9*x^7 + 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.
