Total area of all square and rectangular regions from an n+1 X n+1 grid. E.g., n = 2, there are 9 individual squares, 4 2 X 2's and 1 3 X 3, total area 9 + 16 + 9 = 34. The rectangular regions include 6 2 X 1's, 6 1 X 2's, 3 3 X 1's, 3 1 X 3's, 2 3 X 2's and 2 2 X 3's, total area 12 + 12 + 9 + 9 + 12 + 12 = 66, hence a(2) = 34 + 66 = 100. - Jon Perry, Jul 29 2003 [Index/grid size adjusted by Rick L.

FORMULA
From R. J. Mathar, Aug 19 2008: (Start)
a(n) = (A000292(n+1))^2.
O.g.f.: (1+x)(x^2+8x+1)/(1-x)^7. (End)
a(n) = C(n+4, 3)*C(n+4, 4)/(n+4) + A001303(n) = C(n+4, 3)*C(n+3, 3)/4 + A001303(n) = C(n+4, 6) + 3*C(n+5, 6) + C(n+6,6) + A001303(n). - Gary Detlefs, Aug 07 2013
-n^2*a(n) + (n+3)^2*a(n-1) = 0. - R. J. Mathar, Aug 15 2013
a(n) = (n+3)*C(n+2, 2)*C(n+3, 3)/3. - Gary Detlefs, Jan 06 2014
G.f. 2F1(4,4;1;x). - R. J. Mathar, Aug 09 2015
E.g.f.: exp(x)*(1 + 15*x + 69*x^2/2! + 147*x^3/3! + 162*x^4/4! + 90*x^5/5! + 20*x^6/6!). Computed from the o.g.f with the formulas (23) - (25) of the W. Lang link given in A060187. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 27 2017
From Amiram Eldar, Jan 24 2022: (Start)
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 9*Pi^2 - 351/4.
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = 63/4 - 3*Pi^2/2. (End)
a(n) = 7*a(n-1)-21*a(n-2)+35*a(n-3)-35*a(n-4)+21*a(n-5)-7*a(n-6)+a(n-7). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Aug 29 2022
