COMMENTS

Also coordination sequence of the 5-connected net = hexagonal net X integers.

Also (except for initial term) numbers of the form 3n^2+2 that are not squares. See link for proof. - Cino Hilliard (hillcino368(AT)gmail.com), Mar 01 2003

If a 2-set Y and a 3-set Z are disjoint subsets of an n-set X then a(n-4) is the number of 4-subsets of X intersecting both Y and Z. - Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Sep 08 2007

Sums of three consecutive squares: (n-2)^2+(n-1)^2+n^2 for n>1 [From Keith D. Tyler (oeis(AT)keithtyler.com), Aug 10 2010]
