%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A250388/b250388.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = n^5 + (3/2)*n^4 + 2*n^3 + (3/2)*n^2.

%F Conjectures from _Colin Barker_, Aug 20 2017: (Start)

%F G.f.: 6*x*(1 + x)*(1 + 6*x + 3*x^2) / (1 - x)^6.

%F a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - 15*a(n-2) + 20*a(n-3) - 15*a(n-4) + 6*a(n-5) - a(n-6) for n>6.
