COMMENT

Binomial transform of (1,4,6,4,0,0,0,.......) - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jul 01 2003

If X is an n-set and Y a fixed 4-subset of X then a(n-4) is equal to the number of 4-subsets of X intersecting Y. - Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Jul 30 2007

FORMULA

a(n)=(1/3)*(2*n+1)*(n^2+n+3). G.f.: (1-x^4)/(1-x)^5.

a(n)=C(n, 0)+4C(n, 1)+6C(n, 2)+4C(n, 3) - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jul 01 2003

a(n) is the sum of 4 consecutive tetrahedral (or pyramidal) numbers: C(n+3,3) = (n+1)(n+2)(n+3)/6 = A000292(n). a(n) = A000292(n-3) + A000292(n-2) + A000292(n-1) + A000292(n). - Alexander Adamchuk (alex(AT)kolmogorov.com), May 20 2006

binomial(n+6,n+3)+binomial(n+5,n+2)+binomial(n+4,n+1)+binomial(n+3,n).

MAPLE

A005894:=(z+1)*(1+z**2)/(z-1)**4; [Conjectured by S. Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation.]

CROSSREFS
