R. H. Hardin, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..177

Formula

Empirical: a(n) = 35*n^4 + 14*n^3 - 17*n^2 + 30*n + 1.

Conjectures from Colin Barker, Sep 10 2018: (Start)

G.f.: x*(63 + 350*x + 456*x^2 - 30*x^3 + x^4) / (1 - x)^5.

a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 10*a(n-2) + 10*a(n-3) - 5*a(n-4) + a(n-5) for n>5.

(End)
