COMMENTS

Also as a(n)=(1/6)*(18*n^3-18*n^2+6*n), n>0: structured rhombic dodecahedral numbers (vertex structure 7) (A100157 = alternate vertex); structured tetrakis hexahedral numbers (vertex structure 7) (Cf. A100174 = alternate vertex); and structured hexagonal anti-diamond numbers (vertex structure 7) (Cf. A007588 = alternate vertex) (Cf. A100188 = structured anti-diamonds). Cf. A100145 for more on structured polyhedral numbers. - James A. Record (james.record(AT)gmail.com), Nov. 7, 2004.
