COMMENTS

For q a prime power, a(q-1) = q^3 + q^2 - q is the number of pairs of commuting nilpotent 2*2 matrices with coefficients in GF(q). (Proof: the zero matrix commutes with all q^2 nilpotent matrices, there are q^2-1 non-zero nonzero nilpotent matrices, all conjugate, each commuting with q nilpotent matrices.) - Mark Wildon, Jun 20 2017

FORMULA

a(0)=1, a(1)=10, a(2)=33, a(3)=76; for n>3, a(n) = 4*a(n-1)-6*a(n-2)+4*a(n-3)-a(n-4). [_- _Harvey P. Dale_, Jan 24 2012]
