COMMENTS

The product of 4 successive terms of an arithmetic progression + square of the common difference is a square: a(n) = the square arising as the sum of first four terms of an arithmetic progression + n^2 where 1 is the first term and n is the common difference. a(1) = 25 = 1*2*3*4+1 a(2) = 121 = 1*3*5*7 +2^2 a(3) = 289 = 1*4*7*10 + 3^2, etc. - Amarnath Murthy (amarnath_murthy(AT)yahoo.com), Mar 25 2004

If Y is a fixed 2-subset of a (6n+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
