Write the natural numbers in groups: 1; 2,3,4; 5,6,7,8,9; 10,11,12,13,14,15,16; ..... and add the groups, i.e. a(n)=sum(i,i=n^2-2(n-1)..n^2). - Klaus Strassburger (strass(AT)ddfi.uni-duesseldorf.de), Sep 05 2001

The numbers 1, 9, 35, 91, etc. are divisible by 1, 3, 5, 7, etc. Therefore there are no prime numbers in this list. 9 is divisible by 3 and every third number after 9 is also divisible by 3. 35 is divisible by 5 and 7 and every fifth number after 35 is also divisible by 5 and every seventh number after 35 is also divisible by 7. This pattern continues indefinitely. [From Howard Berman (howard_berman(AT)hotmail.com), Nov 07 2008]

n^3+(n+1)^3=(2n+1)*(n^2+n+1), hence all terms are composite [From Zak Seidov, Feb 08 2011]

This is the order of an n-ball centered at a node in the Kronecker product (or direct product) of three cycles, each of whose lengths is at least 2n+2. - Pranava K. Jha, Oct 10 2011
