[seqfan] Paraffin Numbers

Hello:

The following Mathematica code seems to generate sequence A006009: Number of
paraffins.

A006009[n_] := Sum[(i + 1)*Floor[(i + 1)^2/2], {i, 1, n}];

And if this conjecture is correct then the Alkane (or paraffin) numbers
l(7,n) should be:

A005994[n_] := Sum[(i + 1)*Floor[(i + 1)^2/2], {i, 1, n}]/2 - Binomial[n +
3, 4];



Does anybody knows how to prove o disprove these formulas?


Best Regards, Enrique.
