COMMENTS
a(n)+A212959(n)=(n+1)^3. Every term is divisible by 4.
For a guide to related sequences, see A212959.
FORMULA
a(n) = 3*a(n-1)-2*a(n-2)-2*a(n-3)+3*a(n-4)-a(n-5).
G.f.: f(x)/g(x), where f(x)=4x(1+x^2+x^3) and g(x)=(1+x)(1-x)^4.
a(n) = (4*n^3 + 6*n^2 + 4*n+1 - (-1)^n)/4. - Luce ETIENNE, Apr 05 2014
