COMMENTS
Numbers k such that 12*(12 + k) is a perfect square.
a(n) is the second Zagreb index of the gear graph g[n]. The second Zagreb index of a simple connected graph is the sum of the degree products d(i)d(j) over all edges ij of the graph. The gear graph g[n] is defined as a wheel graph with n+1 vertices with a vertex added between each pair of adjacent vertices of the outer cycle. - Emeric Deutsch, Nov 09 2016

FORMULA
G.f.: 3*x*(5 - 3*x)/(1 - x)^3. - Vincenzo Librandi, Jul 07 2012
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3). - Vincenzo Librandi, Jul 07 2012
E.g.f.: 3*x*(x + 5)*exp(x). - G. C. Greubel, Jul 20 2017
From Amiram Eldar, Feb 26 2022: (Start)
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 25/144.
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 7/144. (End)
