COMMENTS

Group the non-multiples of n as follows e.g. for n = 4 (1,2,3),(5,6,7),(9,10,11),(13,14,15),... Then a(n) = the sum of the members of the n-th group. Or, the sum of (n-1)successive numbers preceding n^2. - Amarnath Murthy (amarnath_murthy(AT)yahoo.com), Jan 19 2004

Corresponds to the Wiener indices of C_{2n+1} i.e., the cycle on 2n+1 vertices (n > 0). [From Kailasam Viswanathan Iyer (kvi(AT)nitt.edu), Mar 16 2009]

Also the product of the three numbers from A005843(n) up to A163300(n), divided by 8. [Juri-Stepan Gerasimov (2stepan(AT)rambler.ru), Jul 26 2009]

FORMULA

a(n) = n(n+1)(2n+1)/2 = A000330(n)*3 = A006331(n)*3/2 = A055112(n)/2 = A000217(A002378(n)) -A000217(A005563(n-1)) = A000217(A005563(n)) -A000217(A002378(n)).

a (n) = 3 a (n - 1) - 3 a (n - 2) + a (n - 3) + 6 = 4a(n-1) - 6a(n-2) + 4a(n-3) - a(n-4) [Added by Ant King, Jan 03 2011]
