Formula

From - Vladeta Jovovic, Jan 29 2003: (Start)

a(n) = (4+n)!*(5+n)!/(2880*n!*(n+1)!).

E.g.f.: 1/2880*(2880 + 40320*x + 109440*x^2 + 105120*x^3 + 45000*x^4 + 9504*x^5 + 1016*x^6 + 52*x^7 + x^8)*exp(x). (End)

From Mike Zabrocki, Aug 26 2004: (Start)

a(n) = C(n+5,8) + 6*C(n+6,8) + 6*C(n+7,8) + C(n+8,8).

a(n) = C(n+4,4)*C(n+5,4)/5.

O.g.f.: (1 + 6*x + 6*x^2 + x^3)/(1-x)^9. (End)

From Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 13 2007: (Start)

a(n) = A001263(n+5,5).

Numerator polynomial of the g.f is the fourth row polynomial of the Narayana triangle. (End)

a(n)= C(n+4,4)^2 - C(n+4,3)*C(n+4,5). - Gary Detlefs, Dec 05 2011

a(n) = Product_{i=1..4} A002378(n+i)/A002378(i). - Bruno Berselli, Sep 01 2016

From Amiram Eldar, Oct 19 2020: (Start)

Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 25 * (79 - 8*Pi^2).

Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = 595/3 - 20*Pi^2. (End)
