FORMULA

a(n) - A177342(n-1) = (n-1)^2, with n>1. For n=6, a(6) - A177342(5) = 174 - 149 = 5^2. - Bruno Berselli, May 23 2010

a(n) = 4*a(n-1)-6*a(n-2)+4*a(n-3)-a(n-4). - Colin Barker, May 18 2014

G.f.: (15*x^3-18*x^2+15*x-4) / (x-1)^4. - Colin Barker, May 18 2014

a(n) = A059259(2*n,3), n>1. - Mathew Englander, May 17 2014
