FORMULA

a(n) = coefficient of y^4 in sum_0^n sigma_{n, k}(n-k)!(y-1)^k on y where the sigma_{n, k} have generating function sigma(t, u)=(1-2t^2(u^2)-2t^2(1+t)u^3+3t^4(u^4))(1-tu)^(-1)(1-(1+2t)u-tu^2+t^3(u^3))^(-1).

MAPLE

Snkgf := (t, u) - >(1 - t*u)^( - 1)*(1 - (1 + 2*t)*u - t*u^2 + t^3*u^3)^( - 1); sigmankgf := (t, u) - >(1 - 2*t^2*u^2 - 2*t^2*(1 + t)*u^3 + 3*t^4*u^4)*Snkgf(t, u); f := (n, k) - >coeff(sum(coeff(subs(u=0, diff(sigmankgf(t, u), u$n))/n!, t, j)*(n - j)!*(y - 1)^j, j =0..n), y, k); seq(f(i, 4), i=4..30);
