I had the following problem, let p >= 1 be a natural number, then compute

the number of 4-tuples with
{ (a1,a2,b1,b2) natural numbers with
	 0 <= a1+a2 <= p, 0 <= b1+b2 <= p,
	abs((a1+a2)-(b1+b2)) <= 3, abs(a2-b2) <= 2 }

i wrote a script and got

9, 36, 92, 181, 305, 464, 658, 887, 1151, 1450, 1784,
2153, 2557, 2996, 3470, 3979, 4523, 5102, 5716, 6365,
7049, 7768, 8522, 9311, 10135, 10994, 11888, 12817,
13781, 14780, 15814, 16883, 17987, 19126, 20300, 21509

now combining 3 consecutive numbers and interpolating
one gets the following polynomials

(9,36,92) --> 29*x^2/2-33*x/2+11,
(36,92,181) --> 33*x^2/2-53*x/2+23,

for all other cases

35*x^2/2-67*x/2+35,

perhaps i should have been more concrete and add to my suggestions
with p(n), q(n) polynomials with small degree say deg(p),deg(q) <= 10
