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}. - 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. - Paul Barry, Dec 15 2010
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}.

Number of orbits of Aut(Z^7) as function of the infinity norm (n+1) of the representative integer lattice point of the orbit, when the cardinality of the orbit is equal to 40320. - Philippe A.J.G. Chevalier, Dec 28 2015
Coefficients in the hypergeometric series identity 1 - 7*(x - 1)/(3*x + 1) + 22*(x - 1)*(x - 2)/((3*x + 1)*(3*x + 2)) - 50*(x - 1)*(x - 2)*(x - 3)/((3*x + 1)*(3*x + 2)*(3*x + 3)) + ... = 0, valid for Re(x) > 1. Cf. A000326 and A002418. Column 3 of A103450. - Peter Bala, Mar 14 2019

FORMULA

a(n) = n(n + 1)(4n - 1)/6.
G.f.: x*(1+3*x)/(1-x)^4. - Simon Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation.
a(n) = n^3 - Sum_{i=1..n-1} i^2. - Klaus Strassburger (strass(AT)ddfi.uni-duesseldorf.de)
Partial sums of n odd-indexed 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*binomial((n+2),3) - (n-1)*binomial((n+1),3); e.g., a(5) = 95 = 5*35 - 4*20. - Gary W. Adamson, Dec 28 2007
a(n) = Sum_{i=0..n} (2i^2 + 3i + 1), for n >= 0 (Omits the leading 0). - William A. Tedeschi, Aug 25 2010
a(n) = 4*a(n-1)-6*a(n-2)+4*a(n-3)-a(n-4), with a(0)=0, a(1)=1, a(2)=7, a(3)=22. - 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
a(n) = a(n-1) + n*(2*n-1).
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3) + 4.
a(n) = binomial(n+2,3) + 3*binomial(n+1,3) = (4*n-1)*binomial(n+1,2)/3.
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 6*(12*log(2)-2*Pi-1)/5 = 1.2414...
(End)
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 6*(1 + 2*sqrt(2)*Pi - 2*(3+sqrt(2))*log(2) + 4*sqrt(2)*log(2-sqrt(2)))/5. - Amiram Eldar, Jan 04 2022

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