Image of C(n+1,2) under the Riordan array (1, x*(1-x)).
FORMULA
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 6*a(n-2) + 7*a(n-3) - 6*a(n-4) + 3*a(n-5) - a(n-6).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(k, n-k)(-1)^(n-k)*k(k+1)/2.
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n-k, k)(-1)^k*(n-k)(n-k+1)/2.
a(3*n) = 0, a(3*n-2) = n*(3*n - 1)/2, a(3*n-1) = n*(3*n + 1)/2. - Ralf Stephan, May 20 2007
a(n) = ((Sum_{k=1..n+1} k^5) mod (Sum_{k=1..n+1} k^3))/((n+1)*(n+2))*(-1)^floor((n mod 6)/4). - Gary Detlefs, Oct 31 2011
