FORMULA
From Chai Wah Wu, May 13 2017: (Start)
a(n) = 15*a(n-1) - 90*a(n-2) + 300*a(n-3) - 630*a(n-4) + 882*a(n-5) - 840*a(n-6) + 540*a(n-7) - 225*a(n-8) + 55*a(n-9) - 6*a(n-10) for n > 9.
G.f.: (5*x^9 + 1490*x^8 + 25475*x^7 + 89505*x^6 + 77969*x^5 + 10265*x^4 - 2895*x^3 - 205*x^2 - 10*x + 1)/((x - 1)^9*(6*x - 1)). (End)
