FORMULA

Binomial transform of [1, 7, 11, 1, -1, 1, -1, 1,...]. - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Oct 22 2007

a(0) = 1, a(n) = (n+1)^3 - (n-1)^3. - Ilya Nikulshin (ilyanik(AT)gmail.com), Aug 11 2009

EXAMPLE

For n = 1 we get the 8 corners of the cube; for n = 2 each face has 9 points, for a total of 8 + 12 + 6 = 26.

MAPLE

A005897:=-(z+1)*(z**2+4*z+1)/(z-1)**3; [Conjectured (correctly) by S. Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation.]
