FORMULA

n*(1+n)*(1+2*n)*(-1+3*n+3*n^2)/30.

G.f.: x*(1+11*x+11*x^2+x^3)/(1-x)^6. More generally, g.f. for Sum_{k=0..n} k^m is Euler(m, x)/(1-x)^(m+2), where Euler(m, x) is Eulerian polynomial of degree m (cf. A008292). E.g.f.: x/(1-x)^2*(exp(y/(1-x))-exp(x*y/(1-x)))/(exp(x*y/(1-x))-x*exp(y/(1-x))). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)Eunet.yu), May 08 2002

MAPLE

A000538 := n-> n*(n+1)*(2*n+1)*(3*n^2+3*n-1)/30;

A000538:=(1+z)*(z**2+10*z+1)/(z-1)**6; [Conjectured by S. Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation.]

a[0]:=0:a[1]:=1:for n from 2 to 50 do a[n]:=a[n-1]+n^4 od: seq(a[n], n=0..33); - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Feb 22 2008
