FORMULA
Nearest integer to (7/8)*( (n+1)^4 - n^4 ).
G.f.: (x^4+10*x^3+20*x^2+10*x+1)/(x-1)^4/(x+1).
a(n) = 7*(2*n+1)*(2*n^2+2*n+1)/8 +(-1)^n/8. -R. J. Mathar,Mar 24 2011
a(0)=1, a(1)=13, a(2)=57, a(3)=153, a(4)=323, a(n)=3*a(n-1)- 2*a(n-2)- 2*a(n-3)+3*a(n-4)-a(n-5). -Harvey P. Dale,Jul 15 2011
E.g.f.: ((4 + 49*x + 63*x^2 + 14*x^3)*cosh(x) + (3 + 49*x + 63*x^2+ 14*x^3)*sinh(x))/4. -Stefano Spezia,Mar 14 2024
