COMMENTS
| Number of edges of the complete bipartite graph of order 3n, K_{n,2n}. - Roberto E. Martinez II (remartin(AT)fas.harvard.edu), Jan 07 2002
"If each period in the periodic system ends in a rare gas ..., the number of elements in a period can be found from the ordinal number n of the period by the formula: L = ((2n+3+(-1)^n)^2)/8..." - Nature Jun 09 1951; Nature 411 (Jun 07 2001), p. 648. This produces the present sequence doubled up.
These numbers also occur as the limiting periods in the Harmonic Periodic Table of Gutierrez Samanez. See also the Klehr link.
Let z(1)=I (I^2=-1), z(k+1) = 1/(z(k)+2I); then a(n)=(-1)*Imag(z(n+1))/real(z(n+1)) - Benoit Cloitre, Aug 06 2002
