Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (13,-78,286,-715,1287,-1716,1716,-1287,715,-286,78,-13,1).
FORMULA
a(n) = n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)(n^8 -24n^7 +260n^6 -1670n^5 +6999n^4 -19698n^3 +36408n^2 -40240n +20170).
Hence a(n) = n^12 - 30*n^11 + 415*n^10 - 3500*n^9 + 20023*n^8 - 81622*n^7 + 241605*n^6 - 517360*n^5 + 780286*n^4 - 782108*n^3 + 463310*n^2 - 121020*n (cf. A296917) - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 23 2017
