FORMULA

G.f.: (1 - x^3 ) / (1 - x)^4 (1 - x^2 )^2.

a(n) = (1/2)*Sum_{k=1..n+1} k*floor(k/2)*ceil(k/2). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Apr 29 2006

G.f.: x (1 - x^3 ) / ((1 - x)^4 (1 - x^2 )^2). [From Alois P. Heinz (heinz(AT)hs-heilbronn.de), Aug 13 2008]

MAPLE

a := n-> (Matrix([[0$4, 1, 4, 12, 27]]). Matrix(8, (i, j)-> if (i=j-1) then 1 elif j=1 then [4, -4, -4, 10, -4, -4, 4, -1][i] else 0 fi)^n)[1, 1]; seq (a(n), n=1..40); [From Alois P. Heinz (heinz(AT)hs-heilbronn.de), Aug 13 2008]
