%N Diagonal in square spiral or maze arrangement of natural numbers.

%C Interleaves the odd squares A016754 with (1+4n^2), A053755.

%C Squares of positive integers (plus 1 if n is odd). - _Wesley Ivan Hurt_, Oct 10 2013

%C a(n) is the maximum total number of queens that can coexist without attacking each other on an [n+3] X [n+3] chessboard, when the lone queen is in the most vulnerable position on the board. Specifically, the lone queen will placed in any center position, facing an opponent's "army" of size a(n)-1 == A137932(n+2). - _Bob Selcoe_, Feb 12 2015

%C a(n) is also the edge chromatic number of the complement of the (n+2) X (n+2) rook graph. - _Eric W. Weisstein_, Jan 31 2024

%F a(n) = (3 + 4*n + 2*n^2 - (-1)^n)/2.

%F a(2*n) = A016754(n), a(2*n+1) = A053755(n+1).

%F E.g.f.: exp(x)*(2 + 3*x + x^2) - cosh(x). The sequence 1,1,5,9,... is given by n^2+(1+(-1)^n)/2 with e.g.f. exp(1+x+x^2)*exp(x)-sinh(x). - _Paul Barry_, Sep 02 2003 and Sep 19 2003

%F a(0)=1, a(1)=5, a(2)=9, a(3)=17, a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-3) + a(n-4). - _Harvey P. Dale_, Jan 29 2012

%F a(n)+(-1)^n = A137928(n+1). - _Philippe Deléham_, Feb 17 2012

%F G.f.: (1 + 3*x - x^2 + x^3)/((1-x)^3*(1+x)). - _Colin Barker_, Mar 18 2012

%F a(n) = A000035(n) + A000290(n+1). - _Wesley Ivan Hurt_, Oct 10 2013

%F From _Bob Selcoe_, Feb 12 2015: (Start)

%F a(n) = A137932(n+2) + 1.

%F a(n) = (n+1)^2 when n is even; a(n) = (n+1)^2 + 1 when n is odd.

%F a(n) = A002378(n+2) - A047238(n+3) + 1.

%F (End)

%F Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = Pi*coth(Pi/2)/4 + Pi^2/8 - 1/2. - _Amiram Eldar_, Jul 07 2022
