COMMENTS

a(n-3) = number of ordered triples of positive integers which are the side lengths of a nondegenerate triangle of perimeter n. - Rob Pratt (Rob.Pratt(AT)sas.com), Jul 12 2004

a(n) is the number of ways to distribute n identical objects into 3 distinguishable bins so that no bin contains an absolute majority of objects. [From Geoffrey Critzer (critzer.geoffrey(AT)usd443.org), Mar 17 2010]

Contribution from Omar E. Pol, Feb 05 2012 (Start:)

Also positive terms of A000217 and A000217 interleaved.

For the connection with the generalized polygonal numbers and some other sequences see A194801. (End)

FORMULA

The signed version with g.f. (1-x^3)/(1-x^2)^3 is the inverse binomial transform of A084861. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jun 12 2003

a(n) = binom(n/2+2, 2) for n even, binom((n+1)/2, 2) for n odd - Rob Pratt (Rob.Pratt(AT)sas.com), Jul 12 2004

a(n-2) interleaves n(n+1)/2 and n(n-1)/2. G.f.: (1-x+x^2)/((1+x)^2(1-x)^3)); a(n)=(2n^2+6n+7)/16+3(2n+3)(-1)^n/16. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jul 29 2004

a(n) = n*(n+1)/2, n = +- 1, +- 2... - Omar E. Pol, Feb 05 2012
