COMMENTS

The answer to a question from Mike and Laurie Crain (2crains(AT)concentric.net): how many even numbers are there in an n X n multiplication table starting at 1X1?

LINKS

Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..10000

Index to sequences with linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (1,2,-2,-1,1).

FORMULA

G.f.: x^2*(x^2+2*x+3)/(1-x^2)^2/(1-x). - Ralf Stephan, Jun 10 2003

a(n) = (1/8)*(2*n*(3*n-1)+(2*n+1)*(-1)^n-1). a(-n-1) = A014255(n). - Bruno Berselli, Sep 27 2011

a(0)=0, a(1)=0, a(2)=3, a(3)=5, a(4)=12, a(n)=a(n-1)+2*a(n-2)- 2*a(n-3)- a(n-4)+a(n-5) [From Harvey P. Dale, Nov 24 2011]
