Write 0,1,2,... in clockwise spiral; sequence gives numbers on negative y axis.

Number of divisors of 48^(n-1) for n>0. - J. Lowell (jhbubby(AT)mindspring.com), Aug 30 2008

Contribution from Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Sep 20 2010: (Start)

a(n) is the Wiener index of the graph obtained by connecting two copies of the complete graph K_n by an edge (for n=3, approximately: |>-<|). The Wiener index of a connected graph is the sum of the distances between all unordered pairs of vertices in the graph.(End)

This sequence does not contain any squares other than 0 and 1. See A188896. - T. D. Noe, Apr 13 2011

For n > 0: right edge of the triangle A033293. [Reinhard Zumkeller, Jan 18 2012]
