COMMENTS

Equals the triangular numbers convolved with [1, 3, 1, 0, 0, 0,...]. [From Gary W. Adamson & Alexander R. Povolotsky, May 29 2009]

Contribution from Ant King, Jun 15 2012: (Start)

The limiting value of the partial sums of the reciprocals of the a(n) is 2*pi/sqrt(15)*tanh(pi/2*sqrt(3/5)) = 1.360613169863...

a(n) == 1 (mod 5) for all n.

The digital roots of the a(n) form a purely periodic palindromic 9-cycle 1, 6, 7, 4, 6, 4, 7, 6, 1.

The units’ digits of the a(n) form a purely periodic palindromic 4-cycle 1, 6, 6, 1.

FORMULA

Narayana transform (A001263) of [1, 5, 0, 0, 0,...] - Gary W. Adamson, Dec 29 2007

a(n)=3a(n-1)-3a(n-2)+a(n-3), a(0)=1, a(1)=6, a(2)=16 [From Jaume Oliver Lafont, Dec 02 2008]

a(n) = 5*A000217(n) + 1 = 5*T(n) + 1, for n = 0, 1, 2, 3, ... and where T(n) = n*(n+1)/2 = n-th triangular number. [From Thomas M. Green (tgreen(AT)astound.net), Nov 25 2009]

a(n) = a(n-1)+5*n, with a(0)=1. [From Vincenzo Librandi, Nov 18 2010]

a(n) = A028895(n) + 1. - Omar E. Pol, Oct 03 2011

a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-2) + 5.   - Ant King, Jun 12 2012

G.f.: (1 + 3*x + x^2)/(1 - x)^3. [Arkadiusz Wesolowski, Aug 05 2012]

EXAMPLE

a(2)= 5*T(2) + 1 = 5*3 + 1 = 16, a(4) = 5*T(4) + 1 = 5*10 + 1 = 51 (Thomas M. Green, Nov. 16, 2009) [From Thomas M. Green (tgreen(AT)astound.net), Nov 16 2009]
