FORMULA
a(n)= binomial(n, 2)*(n^3+11*n^2+46*n-24)/60, n >= 2.
G.f.: (x^2)*(2-2*x^2+x^3)/(1-x)^6. (numerator polynomial is N4(5, x) from A063421.)
a(n) = 2*binomial(n,2) + 6*binomial(n,3) + 4*binomial(n,4) + binomial(n,5) (see comment in A071675). - Vladimir Shevelev and Peter J. C. Moses, Jun 22 2012

A005719:=(2-2*z**2+z**3)/(z-1)**6; [Conjectured by Simon Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation.]
