R. H. Hardin, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210

Formula

Empirical: a(n) = 17*a(n-1) - 118*a(n-2) + 434*a(n-3) - 913*a(n-4) + 1097*a(n-5) - 696*a(n-6) + 180*a(n-7) for n>8.

Conjectures from Colin Barker, Nov 03 2018: (Start)

G.f.: x*(1 - 16*x + 103*x^2 - 346*x^3 + 656*x^4 - 710*x^5 + 425*x^6 - 124*x^7) / ((1 - x)^2*(1 - 2*x)^2*(1 - 3*x)^2*(1 - 5*x)).

a(n) = (-3375 - 525*2^(4+n) - 1300*3^n + 3*5^n + 100*(297+9*2^(2+n) + 2*3^n)*n) / 43200.
