Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (5,-10,10,-5,1).

Formula

a(n) = n*(n-1)*(n+1)*(3*n+2)/12.

G.f.: 2*x^2*(2+x)/(1-5*x+10*x^2-10*x^3+5*x^4-x^5). - Colin Barker, Jan 04 2012

a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 10*a(n-2) + 10*a(n-3) - 5*a(n-4) + a(n-5). - Vincenzo Librandi, Apr 28 2012

a(n) = A033487(n-1) - A007290(n+1) starting at n=1. - J. M. Bergot, Jun 04 2012

a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} (k-1)*k^2. - Michel Marcus, Nov 09 2012

a(n) = A000537(n) - A000330(n) = 2*A000914(n-1). - Luciano Ancora, Mar 16 2015

From Amiram Eldar, Jan 10 2022: (Start)

Sum_{n>=2} 1/a(n) = 81*log(3)/5 - 9*sqrt(3)*Pi/5 - 192/25.

Sum_{n>=2} (-1)^n/a(n) = 18*sqrt(3)*Pi/5 - 48*log(2)/5 - 318/25. (End)

Example

a(10) = 10 * 9 * 11 * 32 / 12 = 2640.
a(5) = 170 and the sum from 1 to 5 is 15, giving 1*(15-1)=14, 2*(15-2)=26, 2*(15-3)=36, 4*(15-4)=44 and 5*(15-5)=50; adding 14+26+36+44+50=170. Do the same for each n and get a(n). - J. M. Bergot, Oct 31 2014
