COMMENTS

Maximal number of points on a chunk of triangular grid of edge length n with no 2 points on same line. Generalized from Problem 252 in Loren Larson's translation of Paul Vaderlind's book- R. K. Guy.

Apart from initial term(s), dimension of the space of weight 2n cusp forms for Gamma_0( 3 ).

Starting at 3,3,..., gives maximal number of acute angles in an n-gon. - Takenov Nurdin (takenov_vert(AT)e-mail.ru), Mar 04 2003

Let b(1)=b(2)=1, b(k) = b(k-1)+( b(k-2) reduced (mod 2)); then a(n) = b(n-1). - Benoit Cloitre, Aug 14 2002

(1+x+x^2+x^3 ) / ( (1-x^2)*(1-x^3)) is the Poincare series (or Molien series) for Sigma_4.

a(n) = A096777(n+1) - A096777(n) for n>0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 09 2004

For n>6, maximum number of knight moves to reach any square from the corner of an (n-2) X (n-2) chessboard. Likewise for n>6, the maximum number of knight moves to reach any square from the middle of an (2n-5) X (2n-5) chessboard. - R. Stephan, Sep 15 2004

A transform of the Jacobsthal numbers A001045 under the mapping of g.f.s g(x)->g(x/(1+x^2)). - Paul Barry, Jan 16 2005

a(A032766(n)) = n. [From Reinhard Zumkeller, Oct 30 2009]

For n >= 1; a(n) = number of successive terms of A040001 that add to n; or length of n-th term of A028359. [From Jaroslav Krizek, Mar 28 2010]

FORMULA

G.f.: (x+x^3)/((1-x)*(1-x^3)).

a(n) = floor( (2*n + 1)/3 )

a(n) = a(n-1) + (1/2)*((-1)^floor((4*n+2)/3) + 1), a(0)=0. - Mario Catalani (mario.catalani(AT)unito.it), Oct 20 2003

a(n) = 2n/3-cos(2*pi*n/3+pi/3)/3+sqrt(3)sin(2*pi*n/3+pi/3)/9. - Paul Barry, Mar 18 2004

G.f.: x*(1+x^2)/(1-x-x^3+x^4); a(n)=a(n-1)+a(n-3)-a(n-4); a(n)=sum{k=0..n, binomial(n-k-1, k)(-1)^k*A001045(n-2k)}; - Paul Barry, Jan 16 2005

a(n) = (A006369(n) - (A006369(n) mod 2) * (-1)^(n mod 3)) / (1 + A006369(n) mod 2). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jan 23 2005

a(n) = A004773(n) - A004523(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Aug 29 2005
