FORMULA

a(n) = (2n+1)*A005449(n) where A005449 = 2, 7, 15, 26, 40... Given the 4th order Stirling number of the first kind matrix [1 0 0 0 / -1 1 0 0 / 2 -3 1 0 / -6 11 -6 1] = M, M^n * [1 0 0 0] = [1 -n A005449(n) -a(n)]

EXAMPLE

a(5) = 440 = (2n+1)*A005449(n) = 11 * 40.

a(6) = 741 since M^7 * [1 0 0 0] = [1 -6 57 -741].

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := (MatrixPower[{{1, 0, 0, 0}, {-1, 1, 0, 0}, {2, -3, 1, 0}, {-6, 11, -6, 1}}, n].{{1}, {0}, {0}, {0}})[[4, 1]]; Table[ Abs[ a[n]], {n, 36}] (from Robert G. Wilson v Jun 05 2004)
