%C A002620(n+1) is the n-th partial arithmetic mean. - _Michael Somos_, Feb 14 2004

%C The smallest integer greater than a(n-1) such that the n-th partial arithmetic mean is an integer is a(n) if n is odd or a(n)-(n+1) if n is even. - _Michael Somos_, Feb 14 2004

%C Beginning with 1, the smallest integer greater than the previous term such that no three consecutive terms are in arithmetic progression and the n-th partial arithmetic mean is an integer. - _Amarnath Murthy_, Feb 05 2004

%C The maximum possible number of black cells in a solution to an (n+1) X (n+1) nurikabe grid. - _Tanya Khovanova_, Feb 24 2009

%C Let M = an infinite lower triangular matrix with alternate columns composed of (1,1,1,...) and (1,2,2,2,...); and Q = the diagonalized variant of (1,2,3,...). Then Q*M = a triangle with row sums = A014255. - _Gary W. Adamson_, May 14 2010

%C Number of pairs (x,y) with x and y in {0,...,n} having the same parity and x+y < n. - _Clark Kimberling_, Jul 02 2012

%C Form an array with m(0,0)=0 and m(i,j)=|i^2 - j^2|. One-half the difference between the sum of the terms in antidiagonal(n) and those in antidiagonal(n-1)=a(n). - _J. M. Bergot_, Jul 10 2013

%C For n > 0, a(n-1) is the sum of the largest parts in the partitions of 2n into two odd parts. - _Wesley Ivan Hurt_, Dec 19 2017

%C Sum of the odd numbers in the interval [m, 2*m] with m > 0. Example: for m = 5, the sum of the odd numbers in [5, 10] is 5 + 7 + 9 = 21, therefore 21 is a term of this sequence. - _Bruno Berselli_, Oct 25 2018

%F a(n) = (n+1)^2 - floor((n+1)/2)^2. - _Franklin T. Adams-Watters_, May 26 2006
