COMMENTS

Comment from Hans Isdahl (hansi(AT)nordtroms.net), Jan 26 2008: The brown rat (rattus norwegicus) breeds very quickly. It can give birth to other rats 7 times a year, starting at the age of three months. The average number of pups is 8. The present sequence gives the total number of rats, when the intervals are 12/7 of a year and a young rat starts having offspring at 24/7 of a year.

Numbers n such that tau(n) is odd where tau(x) denotes the Ramanujan tau function (A000594). - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), May 01 2003

If Y is a fixed 2-subset of a (2n+1)-set X then a(n-1) is the number of 3-subsets of X intersecting Y. - Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Oct 21 2007

All terms of this sequence are of the form 8k+1. For numbers 8k+1 which aren't squares see A138393. Numbers 8k+1 are squares iff k is a triangular number from A000217. And squares have form 4n(n+1)+1. - Artur Jasinski (grafix(AT)csl.pl), Mar 27 2008

Sequence arises from reading the line from 1, in the direction 1, 25,... and the line from 9, in the direction 9, 49,..., in the square spiral whose vertices are the squares A000290. - Omar E. Pol (info(AT)polprimos.com), May 24 2008

Appear as numerators in the non-simple continued fraction expansion of Pi-3: Pi-3 = K_(k=1)^infinity (1-2*k)^2/6 = 1/(6+9/(6+25/(6+49/(6+...)))), see also the comment in A007509. Alexander R. Povolotsky, Oct 12 2011
