FORMULA
G.f.: 1/(1 - x - x^2)^4.
a(n) = A037027(n+3, 3) (Fibonacci convolution triangle).
a(n) = (n+5)*(n+3)*(4*(n+1)*F(n+2)+3*(n+2)*F(n+1))/150, F(n)=A000045(n). - Wolfdieter Lang, Apr 12 2000
For n > 3, a(n-3) = Sum_{h+i+j+k=n} F(h)*F(i)*F(j)*F(k). - Benoit Cloitre, Nov 01 2002
a(n) = F'''(n+3, 1)/6, i.e., 1/6 times the 3rd derivative of the (n+3)th Fibonacci polynomial evaluated at 1. - T. D. Noe, Jan 18 2006
a(n) = (((-i)^n)/3!)*(d^3/dx^3)S(n+3,x)|_{x=i}, where i is the imaginary unit. Third derivative of Chebyshev S(n+3,x) polynomial evaluated at x=i multiplied by ((-i)^(n-3))/3!. See A049310 for the S-polynomials. - Wolfdieter Lang, Apr 04 2007
a(n) = Sum_{i=ceiling(n/2)..n} (i+1)*(i+2)*(i+3)*binomial(i,n-i)/6. - Vladimir Kruchinin, Apr 26 2011
Recurrence: a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-2) - 8*a(n-3) + 5*a(n-4) + 8*a(n-5) - 2*a(n-6) - 4*a(n-7) - a(n-8). - Fung Lam, May 11 2014
n*a(n) - (n+3)*a(n-1) - (n+6)*a(n-2) = 0, n > 1. - Michael D. Weiner, Nov 18 2014
