Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

[Empirical] a(base,n)=a(base-1,n)+A002426(n+1) for base>=1.int(n/2)+1
a(n) = T(n, 21) where T(n, k) = Sum_{j=1..k} (1+2*cos(j*Pi/(k+1)))^n. These are the number of smooth cyclic words of length n over the alphabet {1,2,..,21}. See theorem 3.3 in Knopfmacher and others, reference in A124696. - Peter Luschny, Aug 13 2012
