Principal diagonal of the convolution array A213550, for n>0. - Clark Kimberling, Jun 17 2012

Coefficients in the hypergeometric series identity 1 - 9*(x - 1)/(4*x + 1) + 35*(x - 1)*(x - 2)/((4*x + 1)*(4*x + 2)) - 95*(x - 1)*(x - 2)*(x - 3)/((4*x + 1)*(4*x + 2)*(4*x + 3)) + ... = 0, valid for Re(x) > 1. Cf. A000326 and A002412. Column 4 of A103450. - Peter Bala, Mar 14 2019

FORMULA

G.f.: x*(1+4*x)/(1-x)^5. - Simon Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation.

Starting (1, 9, 35, 95, ...), = A128064 * A000332, (A000332 starting 1, 5, 15, 35, 70, ...), such that a(n) = n*C(n+3,4) - (n-1)*C(n+2,4). E.g., a(5) = 210 = 5*C(8,4) - 4*C(7,4) = 5*70 - 4*35. - Gary W. Adamson, Dec 28 2007

Unit digit, A010879(a(n)), is one of {0,1,9,5,6,4} [Eric Desbiaux] because a(n) mod 5 = 0,1,4,0,0, periodic with period 5. [Proof: A002413(n) mod 5 = 1,3,1,0,0 with period 5 and a(n) are the partial sums of A002413.] - R. J. Mathar, Mar 19 2008

a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 10*a(n-2) + 10*a(n-3) - 5*a(n-4) + a(n-5). - Harvey P. Dale, Oct 16 2012

a(n) = Sum_{i=0..n} (n-i) * Sum_{j=i..n} j. - J. M. Bergot, May 30 2017

E.g.f.: x*(24 + 84*x + 44*x^2 + 5*x^3)*exp(x)/4!. - G. C. Greubel, Jul 03 2019

Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = (50*sqrt(5)*log(phi) + 125*log(5) - 50*sqrt(1+2/sqrt(5))*Pi - 26)/11, where phi is the golden ratio (A001622). - Amiram Eldar, Feb 11 2022
