COMMENTS

These are the solutions to the equation x^2 + xy = n where y mod 2 is zero, y is positive and x is any positive integer. - Andrew Plewe (aplewe(AT)sbcglobal.net), Oct 19 2007

Ordered different terms of A120070=3,8,5,15,12,7, in which are two 15's,40's,48's. Complement: A139544. (See A139491). [From Paul Curtz (bpcrtz(AT)free.fr), Sep 01 2009]

FORMULA

Consists of all positive integers except 1, 4 and numbers == 2 mod 4.

a(n)=a(n-3)+4, n>4.

G.f.: (-x^4 - 2*x^3 + 2*x^2 + 2*x + 3)/(x^4 - x^3 - x + 1). - Ralf Stephan (ralf(AT)ark.in-berlin.de), before May 13 2008

From Ant King, Oct 03 2011: (Start)

a(n)=7+2 *floor[(n-3)/3]+floor[(n-2)/3]+floor[(n-1)/3]-floor[pi/(2*n^2)]

a(n)=a(n-1)+a(n-3)-a(n-4) for n>5

(End)
