%C Column 2 of A201539.

%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A201533/b201533.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = (1/40320)*n^8 - (1/3360)*n^7 + (23/2880)*n^6 - (1/48)*n^5 + (247/5760)*n^4 + (231/160)*n^3 - (6777/1120)*n^2 + (3121/168)*n - 20 for n>3.

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, May 23 2018: (Start)

%F G.f.: x*(3 - 18*x + 52*x^2 - 84*x^3 + 76*x^4 - 25*x^5 - 19*x^6 + 20*x^7 + x^8 - 9*x^9 + 5*x^10 - x^11) / (1 - x)^9.

%F 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>12.
