Binomial transform of (1, 6, 9, 4, 0, 0, 0,...). - Gary W. Adamson, Oct 16 2007

a(n) is the sum of the maximum(m,n) over {(m,n):m,n in positive integers,m<=n} [From Geoffrey Critzer, Oct 11 2009]

We obtain these numbers for d=2 in the identity n*(n*(d*n-d+2)/2)-sum(k*(d*k-d+2)/2, k=0..n-1)  = n*(n+1)*(2*d*n-2*d+3)/6 (see Klaus Strassburger in Formula lines). - Bruno Berselli, Apr 21 2010, Nov 16 2010

q^a(n) is the Hankel transform of the q-Catalan numbers. [From Paul Barry, Dec 15 2010]

Row 1 of the convolution array A213835.  [Clark Kimberling, Jul 04 2012]

For n>0, the digital roots of this sequence A010888(A002412(n)) form the purely periodic 27-cycle {1,7,4,5,5,8,9,3,3,4,1,7,8,8,2,3,6,6,7,4,1,2,2,5,6,9,9}.

For n>0, the units’ digits of this sequence A010879(A002412(n)) form the purely periodic 20-cycle  {1,7,2,0,5,1,2,2,5,5,6,2,7,5,0,6,7,7,0,0}.

FORMULA

a(n) = n*(n+1)*(4*n-1)/6.

G.f.: x*(1+3*x)/(1-x)^4. [Simon Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation.]

a(n) = n^3-sum(i^2, i=1..(n-1)). - Klaus Strassburger (strass(AT)ddfi.uni-duesseldorf.de).

Partial sums of n odd triangular numbers, e.g. a(3)=t(1)+t(3)+t(5)=1+6+15=22 - Jon Perry, Jul 23 2003

a(n)=sum(i=0, n-1, (n-i)*(n+i)). - Jon Perry, Sep 26 2004

a(n) = n*A000292(n) - (n-1)*A000292(n-1) = n*C((n+2),3) - (n-1)*C((n+1),3); e.g. a(5) = 95 = 5*35 - 4*20. - Gary W. Adamson, Dec 28 2007

a(n) = sum(i=0..n, 2*i^2 + 3*i + 1) for n >= 0. Omits the leading 0. [William A. Tedeschi, Aug 25 2010]

a(0)=0, a(1)=1, a(2)=7, a(3)=22, a(n)=4*a(n-1)-6*a(n-2)+4*a(n-3)-a(n-4) [Harvey P. Dale, Jul 16 2011]

a(n)=sum a*b, where the summing is over all unordered partitions 2*n=a+b. - Vladimir Shevelev, May 11 2012

Contribution from Ant King, Oct 24 2012: (Start)

a(n) = a(n-1) +n*(2n-1).

a(n) = 3*a(n-1) -3*a(n-2) +a(n-3) +4.

a(n) = (n+1)*(2*A000384(n)+n)/6 = (4*n-1)*A000217(n)/3.

a(n) = A000292(n) +3*A000292(n-1) = A002411(n) +A000292(n-1).

a(n) = binomial(n+2,3)+3*binomial(n+1,3) = (4*n-1)*binomial(n+1,2)/3.

Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 6*(12*log(2)-2*pi-1)/5 = 1.2414...

(End)

a(n) = sum(i=1..n, sum(j=1..n, max(i,j))) = sum(i<=n, i*(2n-i)). - Enrique Pérez Herrero, Jan 15 2013

EXAMPLE

Let n=5, 2*n=10. Since 10=1+9=2+8=3+7=4+6=5+5, then a(5)=1*9+2*8+3*7+4*6+5*5=95. - Vladimir Shevelev, May 11 2012
