COMMENTS

Apart from initial term(s), dimension of the space of weight 2n cusp forms for Gamma_0( 14 ).

If X is an n-set and Y and Z disjoint 2-subsets of X then a(n-3) is equal to the number of 3-subsets of X intersecting both Y and Z. - Milan Janjic, Aug 26 2007

Number of n-permutations (n>=1) of 5 objects u, v, z, x, y with repetition allowed, containing n-1 u's. Example: if n=1 then n-1 = zero (0) u, a(1)=4 because we have v, z, x, y. If n=2 then n-1 = one (1) u, a(2)=8 because we have vu, zu, xu, yu, uv, uz, ux, uy. A038231 formatted as a triangular array: diagonal: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, ... - Zerinvary Lajos, Aug 06 2008
