A063436 Write 1,2,3,4,... counterclockwise in a hexagonal spiral around 0 starting left down, then a(n) is the sequence found by reading from 0 in the vertical upward direction. 2

COMMENTS

Related to parity of Beatty sequences for exp(-(1/2)/n). Let f(k,n)=-sum(i=1,n,sum(j=1,i,(-1)^floor(j*exp(-(1/2)/n)))), then a(n)=Max{f(k,n) : 1<=k<=4*a(n)-2} and for 0<=i<=4*a(n)-3, f(i,n)=f(4*a(n)-2-i,n). - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), May 26 2004

FORMULA

a(n)=3*n*(4*n+1)=3*A007742(n).

a(n)=24*n+a(n-1)-9 (with a(0)=0) [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Aug 07 2010]

EXAMPLE

The spiral begins:

......16..15..14

....17..5...4...13

..18..6...0...3...12

19..7...1...2...11..26

..20..8...9...10..25

....21..22..23..24

a(1)=24*1+0-9=15; a(2)=24*2+15-9=54; a(3)=24*3+54-9=117 [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Aug 07 2010]
